My guess is that Michelin is getting a bit gun shy about selling tires for low volume but high profile vehicles like the Vanagon here in the US. They may be cutting their liability by no longer offering a suitable tire for the Vanagon. If you buy a Rainforce instead, they will tell you that they never approved that tire for the Vanagon....especially now that they fixed their web page. If in doubt follow the money (lawyers.)
