Ed:

Back in the '80s (and maybe '70s) I ran Vredestein snow
tires on my Vanagon (and maybe '76 before that.)  They
were the "best" snow tire available then.

I was told at some point that someone like Michelin was
buying them.  Then all-season tires came along and
other options and I haven't seen them around, but I even
might still have an old pair on rims that I haven't
used for a few years.

Anyway, they were good tires when I was buying them!
