Hey All,

I promised a report on the Agilis Tires I picked up for my 86GL.  As I
mentioned in a previous posting, I needed some snow to really try em
out.  Well it snowed and iced and did all sorts of fun stuff this week
here in Philly.

On Wednesday, I had to go to the Doctor with my daughter for a morning
appointment.  The snow in my common driveway (alley) was 3 feet deep in
some areas and I live in the middle of the block.  I put the chains on
to get through that, chains are great!! I felt like nothing could stop
me.  The Agilis 61's on the front made the Vanagon go where I wanted it
to with no problem.

Later, I took the chains off and have been blissfully driving on any
street, plowed or not, icy or not, with pretty good control and no
getting stuck.  I have also been able to get in and out of parking
spaces with no problem.  These truly are snow tires.

These tires are worth every penny I paid.
