I've had good success with KalTire in Victoria - they are familiar with Vanagons, so
perhaps try calling them in Vancouver. Also, the OK tire in Maple Ridge used to have a
guy who drove a very nice older bus, and were knowledgable about them. I got my first
set of Yoko 370 tires from them, but that was 8 years ago...
Whatever you do, insist on watching them do it. I caught the guy at Midas skipping a
step on my Jetta, and trying to tell me the camber isn't adjustable...
