You are really reaching for that one Ben :)

Actually, it went like this.  First call to the closest Tire Factory (about
8 miles, nearest Discount Tire about 6 blocks) I got Joe Snuffy.  Really no
clue about the Nokian line of tires especially what I was looking for for a
Vanagon.  But next call, several months later, I got a guy that was very
helpful and very knowledgeable, even very aware of the confusion caused by
the marketing change.  He did his best to find what I needed (14" Hakka CS)
and called back the next day to say no luck.  I've kept his name and number
in case I need more help with Nokian tires.
