I couldn't afford them last year so I didn't buy them. What was the number of the one Craig just found at Schwab that was reinforced? That will work fine. You don't want too stiff a tire on the Vanagon, it gets all loosey goosey on the highway with stiff LT tires. You might call these guys and actually be able to talk to someone who knows the situation.

This is the site that was posted on the list last year. Someone had them and loved them.
