I mounted the fire extinguisher just behind the drivers side door about
shoulders height.
I thought this would be an easy access spot in a hurry.

Subject: [tcb] Looking for New Tires
I have never had the correct tires on my 67 Westie, instead I’ve had standard
car tires.
I have 15” American Eagle five spoke wide five aluminum wheels.
Reading on The Samba it seams the most common recommendation is 205 75 R15 with
a C load rating. (lite truck tire)
This seems to be a difficult tire to find.
I happen to be at an NTB store and asked the salesman if they carry anything in
this size. Strangely enough he says yes,
I have a PowerKing Towmax STRII and I have four in stock. My reply, that’s a
trailer tire, you can put that on a vehicle? He then goes on to
explain that this is a great tire for a vehicle that isn't driven very often
because they don’t get flat spots from sitting long periods of time.
Question to the forum,
Has anyone heard of doing this?
If you have 15” wheels on a Split bus, what tires are you using?
