The Vanagon does not need 'performance' tires! It's
not a 'performance' vehicle. In any case, no
performance tire would have a sufficient load rating
or sidewall stiffness.
Snow tires are only suitable for areas that get a lot
of snow. Since they are not advisable in normal
driving conditions, you have to swap tires every year.
All season tires are the best compromise for most
vehicles. I've used then from New York  to Phoenix,
Arizona with no problems whatsoever. They work well in
snow and the speed rating easily exceeds what the
Vanagon can do.
