M'o I have exactly the same setup as you propose but with 2 Continental (vanagon spec) tires on the front. The ride is MUCH quieter than with The Hakka CS on both front and back. I have observed no adverse handling or wear issues and I would love to hear from someone who knows what (s)he's talking about to tell me why this setup is against the rules, thumb or otherwise, assuming 2WD Vanagon John Meeks '91 Multivan, '85 GL bits Northern Michigan KC8ZFN Vanagon Rescue Squad http://www.vanagonauts.com/Vanagon_Rescue_Squad74.htm
