These tires were standard on Vanagons (and older air cooled)  in Canada,
very good all around, quite, Strong (as in can handle rocks w/out getting
bulges) but has good grip in snow & dirt...... and very important for your
dollar.... they really last.... these are German tires made for Westies....
all the others are designed for US vans & PU trucks.... $45us is worth
driving down for a set..(^:)
