  View original topic: Anyone tried GT Touring VP Plus tires?

Dare I ask if anyone has tried these tires? They're available in 205/70 r14 with a 98XL load rating. Seem like a good option for folks still running 14" wheels. They're mentioned in a couple abandoned threads but no feedback:

Just put a set on our Carat last month. Too early to tell, but one of the few 14” tires out there with a proper load rating.

What tires were you using previously (and what load rating), and any immediate differences felt despite not having a lot of road time and new tires being a bit squirmy? I need to get off our 93 load rated tires asap.

Our van had GT Radial “Champiro VP” tires in 205/70 R14 on it when we purchased it. Basically the same tire. No real noticeable difference. Tires with a 93 load rating are for passenger cars and not suitable for our Vanagons.
