Anyone seen any good prices or sales right now in the U.S. for 185 R 14 "C" or "D" , or "LT" rated tires? The Wonderbus needs new shoes. Last pair I bought as through a local VW shop for Vanagon and they were $95 each. A bit pricey, I think.

Thanks to kafertoys, I found a good deal at tirerack.com, including drop-shipping the tires a local tire installer.

This is the link I gave Mike they don't list for older buses so I used an 85 vanagan as reference
Hope this helps Mario
I bought some cheap-ass Douglas tires from Wal-Mart for my bus that seem to wear like iron and no complaints. Paid $39 bucks each and I got a size bigger 195's cause I like how they feel. Dennis

Mike,
Can't help you with price, and this may be information you already know, but you should probably peruse the tire FAQ over at type2.com before you commit to a tire.

Might help you decide.
