Lots of Discount Tires shops in OKC area.  Getting a proper Vanagon tire
will require ordering and waiting until it arrives.  No one carries them in
stock so far as I know.  If you want to order online, Discount will
install, but you'll get just as good a price buying from the installer.
Discount Tires is national, so your warranty and records will be maintained
no matter where you buy and where you need service (so long as you use
Discount Tires).  I have no interest in Discount Tires other than as a very
satisfied customer.

One caveat:  If they don't handle the brand you need (Vredestein for
example), then you'll have to get it elsewhwere.  They won't order outside
their list of regular suppliers.
