If you have 14" wheels, the correct tire is the Michelin Agilis 61 in 185R14C.  They are made and available.  Indeed, I got this recommendation straight from the customer service representatives at Michelin and have such tires on my Vanagon.  Most dealers do not have the Agilis 61 in their electronic catalogs so when you ask for them, they say they are not made.

Please note that the Tire Selector on the Michelin website still incorrectly says that the tire for Vanagons in the Rainforce MX4 185R14-91T.
