Also they'd have to do more than look up 'Vanagon' because there are different recommrendations for campers and vehicles with alloy wheels. If you have ever tried out any of the tire manufacturer's internet site 'tire finder' systems, you will know that most of them list no tires for the Vanagon or an incorrect tire. Many of them ask you inappropriate things like 'do you have a Kombi' which is meaningless to most of us in the US. None of them have any knowledge that some Vanagons have alloy wheels which need wider tires. --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan.
