Anyone running i-Pike tires (16") on their Vanagon? Specifically year roundsee http://www.busdepot.com/ipike16    
I've got a set on my mini-van in the size Bus Depot sells for the Van.  Since, I'm selling the mini-van, the present Vanagon tires are getting pretty old, I have 16: rims already AND I have a kid in college, I was thinking saving cash and running these tires.
No I wouldn't typically run a snow tire year round, but I'm thinking this isn't so different as running BFG AT"s either.  I only use the van a few thousand miles a year.  I actually ran them on the mini-van all this year.  My take was somewhat less traction in wet conditions.  Handling was not too much different from the summer tires.  I'm thinking on the Vangon switching from the 14's to these in 16's, I might not notice any difference in handling.JR
