Yes, I am on my second set from Schwab.  If you request a specific
load rating they can produce it.  If you're on a budget you can
do just fine with their "Jupiter's" though get the 8 ply's.

I go the fellows on Aurora about 120th or so.  Never steered
me wrong, and last set the fellow talked me into kept me from
going to the bottom of a rather steep incline earlier this year.
(No I'm not using Jupiter's, those are more of a road tire then I have)

Anyone in the Northwest USA use Les Schwab for their vanagon tires?
(Besides me, that is) ...just wondering how what they carry rates against
other tires.  I have to admit that I like the free service and unlimited
switching off of summer and winter tires, etc. when I have their tires (and
I tend to only travel in the area where their chain has stores anyway.)
