Cdn  source for Michelin Agilis


    Doug, good luck !  I've been two months  now trying to track down a set 
of Michelin Agilis for my van.   Everywhere I've checked in the Ottawa area I 
was told that there are none in  stock and Michelin would have more by middle 
of September.  Now I'm being  told middle of November.  Any tire dealer who 
sells Michelin tires can get  them for you - after Michelin has them back in 
stock.  The best price I've  found so far is at Canadian Tire, $164.  Since I need 
tires right  now I started looking for alternatives.  I found a set of 
Verdestine  Comtracs, 185/R14 - LRD - M&S with the correct load rating and am  
having them installed this Thursday.  There was only one set in stock  anywhere 
they could look.  They are $165 each.  My present tires have  blown all their 
belts and the van has become dangerous to drive.  Need  tires to get to the 
_Mononcles_ (http://www.mononc-en-folie.com/)   camping this weekend at 
St-André-Avellin and Watkins Glen the following weekend  !  

Cheers,
