Got a set of these a couple months ago; they mount on the stock rims.
Nice and square-looking, knobby tires. I've been told by my tow-truck
driver stepson that they get lots and lots of miles.


Couple weeks ago we had quite a bit of slippery ice on the streets here
in Central Oregon. Mrs Squirrel's all-wheel drive Subaru Outback was
doing a bit of sliding about, but my 2WD Vanagon (with 300lbs of sand
over the rear axle) handled the same stretches with aplomb.*


Many thanks to that Dennis Haynes for recommending them.
