Best price I found on Vredestein 185/70-15s was from Euro Tire in NJ (www.eurotire.com), thanks to a tip from a
Lister. They were $119ea and even with a little over $30ea shipping to CA they beat the package from Summit advertised
on eBay--with 'free' shipping--by over $85 total. They were supposedly manufactured this year.
I mentioned to the guy at Euro that Vreds are, realistically, the only choice in this and other sizes (Avons, Dunlops
and Michelin are very expensive if they can be found at all). I mentioned that we'll basically be screwed for tires if
Vredestein ever quits the business; the guy at Euro said the managing director at Vredestein is a 'Healey Guy.' That
probably explains the red BJ8 on their brochures.
Thanks for the feedback everybody.

haven't noticed any problems with the current Vred Sprint Classics on my BN4,
or the older pattern Vreds that I had before these.
