Alan:
Look at http://www.michelin-us.com/us/eng/tire/catalog/agilis.htm , print out
the page and then take it to the dealer and ask him if he can track down the
185/14C 99/97R shown for the Agilis 61.  I have not used these tires for my
Vanagon (yet), but I have had the Agilis 51 205/65/R15C on my Eurovan.  They
have been terrific year round up here in New England.
