Been searching for Hakkas for weeks-BION, Van Cafe has the only Hakkas
suitable for a Vanagon that I can find!  Not Tire factory( in Michigan),
not no body!  VC also says CS's are discontinued.

Just ordered Hakka C's w/o studs from VC-They are the best available IMHO.
Bad news tires have to be shipped almost back to Finland!  Only $116
shipping for 4 to my door.

BTW, I don't believe that Hakka WRC's come in 14".

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-14"-if it ain't broke I ain't gonna fix it.
