I like TireRack.com. I buy all my VW Jetta, Cabrio, and Vanagon tires from them. They even questioned my choice of vanagon tires and offered me a full return no restock charge if they did not fit during a trial mechanical fit (no driving on them). They fit fine and I love em. Michelin Pilot Sport 235-60/16. Give them a try. TEMiller Jim Heissenbuttel wrote: >> Called the local Les Schawb store > > > Well, there was your first mistake. I got burned by them too.
