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Vanagon, assuming these are the current TAs and are not out of date or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.
