The Vanco is a well-built long life tire. I have seen problems with tread
separation-ride disturbance. It is not particularly good in wet weather is
not an all season tire. In many states a "snow emergency" means at least all
season (M+S) tires are required. For those on a budget

T&partnum=07TR4AMAXRTXL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes is the tire I
recommend.

Re:  I run stock sized steel wheels... For tires, the best I've found, so
far...I use the Hankook  RA0 8 on the front and Nokian Hakkapellita C on the
rear...both in 185-14c size. (Don)




Any comments on Continental Vanco in 185-14D (tirerack has)?
