Hey folks, I'm not selling tires, just passing on a sale I saw while shopping for something else. I do not know anything more than what I shared. Call and ask Summit for more details. Vanagon folks have spoken well of these tires and I saw the sale so I thought I'd share in case this might be a chance for someone to save a bit on a tire that works well for them on their Vanagon, assuming these are the current TAs and are not out of date or whatever.
