A Vanco 8,   no size given but a good start.

At the risk of starting a new tire thread; (name withheld to protect
the innocent) I wonder if forum members would mind taking a picture
of their tire choice, like the one shown above. Listing: The Brand,
The Model, The Size and The Mileage at time of picture.
        Someone with the ability to store/display the pictures could
compile the lot in one web-page to help listers make a decision.
That's what I call a resource.
        Not every tire shop has the brand and model of tire you think
you want, let alone the size; and they certainly won't have equal
size brand comparisons 'in stock'.
        Personally, before I drop 4 -5 hundred bucks, sight unseen,
on a set of tires, I would like a little more information. A small
photo of a bare tire in a glossy brochure with no size, wheel or
relevant vehicle just doesn't cut it.
  Is the tire going to be quiet or noisy, will it have a good grip in
the mud or snow, and does it look like I want it on my van; all these
questions can be answered to a degree by a picture.
        Would you buy a sirloin steak based on a picture of "Bossy" in a field?
