I like TireRack.com.  I buy all my VW Jetta, Cabrio, and Vanagon tires
from them.  They even questioned my choice of vanagon tires and offered
me a full return no restock charge if they did not fit during a trial
mechanical fit (no driving on them).  They fit fine and I love em.
Michelin Pilot Sport 235-60/16.
Give them a try.
