Well, there was your first mistake. I got burned by them too. Being a
newbie to the Vanagon, I had no idea that they required a light truck
tire and went to Les Schwab. they had no trouble selling me some 60K
mile tires that lasted only 20K before being bald on the outsides. By
them I had moved away from Seattle and had no recourse.

I will never shop at Les Schwab again, and until that point I had
bought every tire I ever owned there.
