... had those on my Benz estate because they were there when I bought it. that was a heavy car - maybe close to the weight of a Vanagon. for this winter I'm using the Coopers that I bought last year on the rear wheels and the worn Bridgestones up front. the 4 Hankooks I had mounted in the spring are still very nice. thank you List membership endorsement squad ! I had to tell the kid behind the counter how to find the RAs in the dealer catalog and he was very enthused to inform me they are THE Vanagon stock tire. he is 1 year younger than my Van - the blue box of happiness, year round. � � � � mike, missing the Benz yet satisfied more with the best station wagon ever !

What I like are Studless Winter Tires..
such as the Bridgestone Blizzack.

it's not only their tread design,
it's the rubber compound used too - specifically formulated for ice and
snow and cold slippery surfaces.
