Tire Chains for a 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon
Question:
The tire only says 185R14C. The owners manual says nothing nor could I find any stickers anywhere I measured and came up with 13 cm. (130mm). Thanks

If you have 185/60-14 tires on your 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon then yes, the Thule Standard Snow Tire Chains part # TH01221050 will work for you. It looks like you provided both the section width "185" and wheel diameter "14" but not the aspect ratio. I would need this to recommend a fit if the above is not correct. It should be listed on the sidewall of the tire after the section width and before the wheel diameter. If it is not then you would need to take a tape measure and measure from top to the wheel to the top of the tire (see photo) in millimeters.
I would also take a quick peek in the owner's manual for either vehicle to be sure you are following the manufacturer's recommendations.
