Anyone running i-Pike tires (16") on their Vanagon? Specifically year roundsee http://www.busdepot.com/ipike16 � �
I've got a set on my mini-van in the size Bus Depot sells for the Van. �Since, I'm selling the mini-van, the present Vanagon tires are getting pretty old, I have 16: rims already AND I have a kid in college, I was thinking saving cash and running these tires.
No I wouldn't typically run a snow tire year round, but I'm thinking this isn't so different as running BFG AT"s either. �I only use the van a few thousand miles a year. �I actually ran them on the mini-van all this year. �My take was somewhat less traction in wet conditions. �Handling was not too much different from the summer tires. �I'm thinking on the Vangon switching from the 14's to these in 16's, I might not notice any difference in handling.JR
