Subject: Search for tires


So, the other day, instead of searching tire sites for vanagon tires…I searched for cargo van tires. Lots more choices than I expected. And most are load 100 rated (or better). Just something for folk to consider when looking for tires the next time. I still can’t get my preferred brand/tire in the USA (Vredestein Winter Comtrac 2), unless I go via eBay from Italy and pay through the nose, but Nokian has a similar winter tire that is available. Not the 225/70R15 size, but the 215/75R15, which is acceptable. My current Vredesteins are still good for this winter, and probably through next summer…but for next winter I’ll have to be prepared. =
