I have been looking on the frourms for a pic of some westys with the general grabbers 27X8.5R14LT
I cant find pics with them on. If you could put some pics up that would be awesome. I have a 85 westy so it sits up good and i think the bigger tires would look good until I could afford to lift it. |

But, but, but...
I didn't get to post those on my hard-working back country rig:
They even look good dirty. Don't mind the POR-15 and epoxy primer. Minor Arizona seam rust - not to be confused with Ohio rust.
Trust me, this ole WBX earns its keep. Faithfully. The Grabbers have traversed more than one running wash - and through the mud up the other side. _________________ - 83.5 Westfalia - 2.2 GoWesty "power"

Take any internet quote you can find (tirerack.com) to your nearest America's tire or other major chain store and have them match price for you. _________________ 89 Westy 2.1 Auto |

I just ordered a set of the 14" grabbers. Discount tire direct is offering a $75 prepaid visa card for a set of 4 AND free shipping.

Not sure it is less expensive to buy these vs lifting the van though...$120/tire less $50-$75 gift card (I only got a $50 one)... _________________ 1987 Vanagon camper

$107 a tire. No shipping cost. $75 rebate that has already processed. I needed new tires and I like the look of these. _________________ 84 Westy AKA "Sludge" |
