Bob,

Last summer I had a hell of a time located a set of the MXT's.  I
remember having a few conversations with Michelin which were a bit
confusing to say the least.  It sounded to me like this tire was
still being made but not shipped to the USA.  Go figure.  I called
every tire place near where I live (Milwaukee) and no one could get
this tire.  For the heck of it I called a VW dealer in my area and
the tire buyer there was able to get me 4 Michelins MXT.  I dont know
where he got them from but it took a week and he said he got them
from a supplier in the western US.  They werent cheap, about $110
each but will worth it IMHO on the vanagon.  This is one time when
you might want to check a VW dealer.  (I cant believe I'm endorsing a
VW dealer)  This particular dealer in Milwaukee I have heard is
pretty good at providing Vanagon support.
