Be aware, however, that there are a few different Vredesteins that have high load ratings, and they are not all the same. In a 185R14 non-snow radial, for example, they make both a Comtrac and a Sprint+. According to my contact at Vredestein technical support, the newer Comtrac is a much better tire than the Sprint+ in all respects. The Sprint+, although still available, is an older design. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
