Hey Jill (and group)- I've had a couple of people contact me with the same sentiment. The link to the German Supply co. was strictly informational as a review of that specific tire and its fit with our Vanagons. Tire Works actually contacted Nexen directly and worked to have the tires shipped. From what I understand, Nexen has relationships with a lot of tire retailers and should be able to work to get them to you fairly easily. I'm sure you have a Les Schwab in your neighborhood (GOD, what I wouldn't give to have one down here!!!). If anyone is interested in securing a set of these, contact me and I'll get you some information with regard to whom you should contact at Nexen. Probably easier to call them directly and find out who they deal with, as opposed to calling a bunch of dealers to find out if they work with Nexen. As a side note . . . I STILL FRIGGIN' LOVE THESE TIRES!!!! :o)
