I bought my Carat with nearly-new tires on it. They are Sigma Shadow
95T 205/70R14 with a max pressure of 44 psi. I can find a load rating (apart
from 1521 lbs at max pressure) on the tire but I'm asuuming they're C rated.
I'm guessing these are insufficient for the great mass of the Vanagon?

It's a shame really, they probably have less than 2k miles on them. But I
now feel compelled to replace them...
