| 1998 | STRUCTURE | HELLO, I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE 15 PASSENGER VANS. HAS ANY ONE CONSIDERED THE ADDITION OF DUAL REAL TIRES ON THESE VEHICLES? IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE LARGER MINI BUSES ARE SAFER, AND I NOTICED THAT THEY ALL HAVE DUAL REAR TIRES. AND THE E-350 VAN I KNOW IS BUILT ON THE SUPER DUTY FORD 250/350 CHASSIS WHICH CAN BE ORDERED WITH DUAL REAR TIRES? WOULDN'T THESE MAKE THE CHANCE OF ROLLOVERS LESS? THANKS TOM. *NLM |
