Subject:      Hankook Vanagon tires are back!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

A quick note that the well-regarded Hankook RA08 all-season Bus/Vanagon
tires are back in stock, in both 185R14 and 195R14 sizes. (185R14 is
recommended.)  All backorders have been shipped, and for once we actually
have extra stock for anyone who needs them!!  Get 'em while you can!  

I wish Hankook would "get it" that they'd sell more Bus/Vanagon tires if
only they would produce more. It's like pulling teeth to get these tires!  I
even talked to the U.S. sales manager at the SEMA auto trade show and he's
as frustrated about it as I am. Someone "upstairs" at Hankook apparantly
decided that VW van applications are supposed to be a poor seller in the
U.S., and he adamantly refuses to let the facts interfere with that
conclusion, so I'm lucky if they ship half as many as I order.
