Absolutely agree. I had these on my previous Vanagon and they were fantastic,
plus they are rated M+S (at least here in Europe) so you get some extra traction
on mud & snow.

(for my current van I have separate sets of summer & winter tires so I will
probably be getting Continentals as my next set of summer tires. They get very
good reviews in German tests).
