Title: Tires on bus
Post by: 66-Ghia on March 14, 2009, 03:32:40 am
Boy did I get the runaround on Samba when I asked this question."I have a 1971 bus/
transporter, it has 205/70R14 Euro Metric Radial tires on it (all 4 the same) with about
4000 miles on them, the spare is a Dunlap P195/75 R14. Would it be ok to put 185R/14C
on just the front" A yes or no would have been fine with me, but some of these guys
went crazy with their answers~ like you can't put one 205 and one 185 up front  LAUGH@  fig2
So lets hear the pros and cons from the club members.
No I don't want to buy 4 new tires at this time.
Thanks guys
Bud

Good answer Pat,   weldface    but not what I wanted to hear   :wallbash: When and if I finish the bus
90% of my load will be carried in and on the rear (top)
You gave an honest answer.   LAUGH@

Thanks Bud

Sorry guys I'm trying, after seeing my doctor on Tuesday and getting news I didn't want to hear. I don't mean to be that grumpy old man anymore. This Youtube might help you to understand  how I am feeling. 8 pills  day and a lot of rest.
