Thanks for that, euromodder. I went from 145/15 to 165-50/15 on the front and I wasn't overly impressed. I'll check that.

Those are some of the most efficient multi-purpose vehicles, with not too many big drawbacks regarding MPG - well, if you leave out the car that started it all
What? My 1961 VW panel van weighs 1750lb, has a 3/4 ton axle rating, and got 30mpg at 55mph with the original 1600cc egine with Kadron carbs. IOW, within a safety margin, it can carry it's own weight. I'm currently assembling a new motor, a stroker 1776.

When I was younger I carried my table saw around the valley, slept in it at night and used it to carry lumber from the yard on the roof rack. It's pretty multi-purpose, being a panel van with one small oculus in the roof it's a great urban camper.

...or were you talking about the Voyager?
