I have just spoken with Yokohama USA (1 800 423-4544) and the customer
service rep has stated that the Y370 is out of production, they have no
stock in their warehouse and, according to him, they have no other
comparable tire for the Vanagon.....

Has anyone had any experience with the Continental CR21 tire, which has
been recommended by the Tire Rack for the Vanagon (non-synchro non-Westy) ?
