I can recommend Kal Tire  - the one in Salmon Arm fixed a flat in my BFG AT
KOs 3 years ago, no charge, and didn't even ask where I got them (not Kal
Tire, although I did get my Yoko Y370s there). Great service, and he also
commented they BFG are not a correct tire for the van; their recommended
option was the Agilis at the time. I prefer a more aggressive tread, hence
the BFGs, but they are definitely softer and more prone to sidewind
instability. I may try the new BFG 195R14 with proper load rating for the
van, if I can find them.
