<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;I bought the Kirland's about 5k ago and they seem fine.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;I think they good tires for the buy, and they are c rated. Hey these
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;aren't SUV's - thank our lucky stars.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Most C rated tires have an inadequate load index for a Vanagon
<DIV></DIV>&gt;especially a Westy. You need to look at the 'load index' on the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;sidewall, not the 'C' rating which has little meaning.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Also, KIrkland tires are available only from Costco - a private members
<DIV></DIV>&gt;club. Not everyone can quailfy to be a member.
