Subject:Re: Nokian WRC tires no more?

This would work on a 2WD Vanagon. I have Syncro Westfalia with an ABA block conversion. I need a bit more load rating and bite. :-)

I think the Nokian WR C3 might work, although they are directional. 

The WRC Van tires I currently have are excellent 4-season performers, even in hot GA summers. They are quiet and have a great ride.  Did I mention quiet?  They are that good.
