Yes, many people have used these LT Costco house branded tires on Vanagons and liked them. Load Range C, 2 sidewall plies, 50 psi max. Hard to beat for the price as Costco includes mounting and balancing in the item price. Not everyone has access to Costco though. The Michelin LTX (Sears XC LT4) is a slightly better tire IMHO but at a higher price. the correct size is LT195/75/14 Load C Slightly smaller than stock 185R14 (steel wheel). Slightly taller than stock 205/70/14 (alloy wheel).
