If you are interested in >these tires the stock number for the EuroVan is 99128. These are nice tires; I don't know the gory details (mainly because I haven't looked closely at the sidewall), but they should be at least the equivalent of the MXL, if not better. I bought a set of 4 of the Agilis from Tire Rack and as I recall they ended up being about 90-something bucks, which I thought was pretty reasonable. I've not mounted them yet because I'm still waiting for the belts to pop through the tread ;) I'm impressed with those MXLs; I'm pretty sure we're going to clear 50K miles on the original set. :) BTW, the 205/65/15 Agilis is the OEM tire on the soon-to-be EV VR6 and they were pretty quiet and handled well, maybe even for late braking freeway offramps... ;) Norman
