Subject:Re: Where to Buy 195 R 16 D Tires?
From:Ronald Gregory Smithers

Good Morning All !

Yesterday, I had a rather discouraging go at buying tires for my recently
acquired Vanagon.  I want to use tires sized the same as the ones originally
mounted by the manufacturer, 195 R 16 D.  My newly found awareness of
Vanagons leads me to believe that there are a number of them still plying the
highways.  Apparently, some manufacturer must be making tires for them.  My
question is, who?

Please do not respond only to tell me that such a size is not manufactured.
I disproved this claim to more than one tire merchant yesterday.

ps: If you are one of the readers who feels the urge to reply to my question
in an indecent manner, please spare us both the pain.  For it pains me, too,
when I see another human being suffering an anguish for which I have no
salve.
