So I checked my owner's manual and it said to never go over 85 mph if you have 16 inch wheels, even if it is legal  :huh: Is this because the speedometer would be off? It's the only reason I can think of, but I'm by no means a mechanic. Also, I weighed my van and a scrap yard today. Total...

Thanks for the replies :) 16 inch tire upgrade was my fear. Thanks for the update PECDV2. I saw your thread from a year ago, nice to hear that they're still treating you well after 10K miles. However, why do you think they rub? Are they the stock size? while I was searching, I looked at one van...

Thanks all. I read your review from a year ago PECVD2, nice to hear they're But ugh. I suspected 16 inch wheels. I won't lie, I'm very tempted to go cheap now, mainly because I'll be doing mostly paved roads in a suburban environment for the next year.

I'll look into that, thank you! Right now I'm looking more at passenger vans from private sellers and it's slow going.

I'm outside Chicago :)

Hi all! I've been lurking on your wonderful forum for a while now so I guess it's time to introduce myself. Thanks so much for the information you've all put together here, it's really been helpful as I search for my first van. I haven't found one yet, but it's winter in the Midwest so perhaps...
