Noel:  I don't know where you are located, but you may not need a Vredestein 
outlet.  I obtained my latest set through our local Les Schwab tire store.

I talked to an associate and she said she would call Vredestein and see what 
she could do.  She was able to order four tires and I had Schwab mount them. 
I stood by to make sure the spoke nipples were covered, that they put new 
tubes in, put powder in the tires when mounting, and put the plastic inserts 
in the wheels to protect the valve stems.  I did not let them balance them 
as I knew they did not have the proper equipment.  I balanced them myself 
with a bubble balancer.

One tire turned out to be defective and Schwab ordered a replacement and 
mounted it at no extra cost to me.

The cost of the tires was no more than I had expected had I purchased them 
from a Vredestein dealer.  The fact that they were local was beneficial when 
there was a problem.
