I will say that I preferred the N812 a bit, but mostly because it did better on dirt/gravel roads, which I realize doesn't matter much to most people.<br>> <br>> > Vledrestein (or some similar spelling) but these are expensive.<br>> <br>> Vredestein, yeah. Until last year I had a set of Vredestein Snow+ tires that were great in the snow. They've got a Sprint Classic year round tire that's rather tempting, but as you say, they're quite expensive.<br>> <br>> One other option I forgot in my last message was the Firestone F560, through Coker at $80/tire.<br>> <br>> Soren<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> VWType3.Org mailing list - type3@vwtype3.org<br>> http://lists.vwtype3.org/listinfo.cgi/type3-vwtype3.org<br>> Contact gregm@vwtype3.org if you need help with the list.<br></div></div> </div></body>
