After reading all of the recent posts & ranting a little myself,  I finally
e-mailed Michelin through their web site.  The first thing I did was to
politely ream them for still recommending the wrong tires for Vanagons.  I
also ask them questions about availability.  They called me and informed me
of this:
            1. The word has been sent up through channels about the web
site.  Lets not get started about corporate America now.
            2.  The Agilis 61 in a 185 x 14 is the recommended tire for a
Vanagon with 14" steel or alloy wheels
            3.  The Agilis 61 (185 X 14) is in stock right now with another
shipment due soon.
            3.  The Agilis that is out of stock at the moment is a 205/65 X
15 which I think is a 51 and which does not apply to Vanagons
with 14" wheels.

You may call Michelin yourself @ 1-800-847-3435

I still think the 185 X 14 Agilis 61 is the best Michelin I have owned since
the first X - AirStop I bought in 1966.
