I used them for a long time and they were a rare bargain. Then, about 10 years, the plug was pulled and they were no longer imported into the USA. From what little I have seen on the web, Vredestein makes a line of tires which are spot on for Vanagons. I will post any sources I find. By the way, at the time they stopped bringing them into the USA, I was told that they were still available in Canada. In fact, years ago, I hooked up with a tire dealer in Vermont who claimed to be able to get them from Canada. He seemed a little shaky and the cost was more than double what I was used to paying, so I never pursued that source. Rich |
