They seem to be European, but say they deliver to the US? ?

Click on the 'contact us' link - notice that Newport Beach address, and the 949 number? Yeah, they're in Newport Beach. I called 'em to see if I could pick up the tires to avoid shipping (I live about a mile from Newport Beach). Of course not ~ they're only an office... the tires are in a warehouse somewhere (she told me where, but I can't remember. I think they had 3-4 around the US) and they drop ship on order from the office. Should work the same way in Canada and EU, I would think.

Best,

I looked around a bit for someone who could supply these exact tires. None of the tire chains could or at least would at a decent price. I finally went by my local garage to see if they could receive the tires for me from Tire-Easy, and the owner of the garage asked if they could bid on supplying them instead. They beat Tire-Easy's price by a few bucks per tire. Shopping local works better than you might think.

I ordered these 195 tires for use w/ VW alloys. Absoletely NO problem and the tires were delivered (to West Virginia) in less than a week. I couldn't be more pleased. TireRack and others didn't have the 195 Hankooks. The only "problem" was that my credit card company called to confirm that it was a "legit" charge, since I was ordering from Europe.

You can buy the same 195R14 Hancook tires from Bus Depot if you would rather. http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=RA08195
