I'm not the only one that loves the Michelin's on my Westfalia. Recently, I
purchased a new set of whitewalls for the '79 Super Convertible that I am
restoring and hated the fact that none were available from Michelin. Had to
take
what I could get from Coker.

I put on Michelin 6 ply LTX's (LT195/75R14) on my '71 panel about 3 months
ago and I'm amazed at the difference.
It had some "budget" 4 ply Cornell tires that came on it when I bought it
in 2000.
It's a much happier "camper" (sorry, bad pun...), now. Steers much easier
(almost like power steering at low speeds)and isn't nearly so wishie
squishie in the corners. Though they are a much stiffer tire they ride
just fine.
The downside is they were about $150/each from Discount Tire, but since
the low dollar Cornells lasted 5 years (and still had good tread left,
though they were starting to crack) the Michelins should last until my
hair is as gray as Dennis's and Sammie's...
