I just ordered two.  Free shipping to near Portland.

  I've been enjoying just driving my tintop 5sp  especially with it's new
AA Transaxle rebuild.. lottsa miles, just because it's fun to drive.....it
works even better with some really stiff sidewall tires...I've run the
Hakka.... But they're really pricey.... I have go form g 520s on all the
wheels now....it handles well, but with stiff sidewall rears it's
quicker... still almost useless in snow with any hill.

Thanks for that Dennis. If I recall, Canadian Tire up here sells
Vredestein. Nice to see that this model of tire has the M&S and snow
flake symbols embossed on them:

On some highways in BC, we're required to have tires with at least the
M&S logo and good amount of tread left.
