I thought by the title you put the X tires on your Van... really doesn't
sound like them from the description below!  The Canadian Military used to
use them on their Iltis along with other vehicles they have and I have seen
them fitted on Syncro 16s in Europe too... **VERY** aggressive off-road tire
pattern!

Is sort of how the pattern looks, these are just big rubber lugs for ripping
up dirt or in my case my driveway! :)

just put a pair of these on front of my vanagon as a trial... 70USD per
tire... the tire guy who is very knowledgeable about vws and porches said
that I would love them and that these work better than the MXTs which I was
about to replace... they have improved handling markedly, the wind swerve
has been noticable lessened and my mileage improved a bit

good lluck
