i also spoke with Michellin recently and received the same info i also reamed them for still recommending the rainforce on their website (i was assured that there was someone working on it as we spoke - haven't checked back to see!) the important part, however, is that they are going to replace my 4 rainforce tires with 4 agilis 61's free of charge - including labor if anyone else purchased rainforce tires based on the website or dealer's computer's recommendation, call Michellin and get your free new tires! Michellin - 1 800 847 3435 good luck! cory 84 wesy n. bridgton, me ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walt Spak" <wnsopc3@3RDM.NET> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Friday, July 20, 2001 2:56 PM Subject: MICHELIN AGILIS
