Understood.  I was looking for Hankook winter tires in stock Vanagon sizes
but figured you were running something bigger.


And as for better gas mileage I told you the secret a long time ago and it
has to do with tires again.  You go to 17" wheels in the rear and 14" in
the front so that you are pointing downhill all the time.  Gas mileage goes
way up....
