Thanks Dennis and the rest! I'll keep these tires, since I am unlikely to get any more money for the 10 yr. old, 160,000+ mile mini-van with a "set of mounted snows" thrown in come selling time.  The height on these is great as I have a stock WBX.  BTW a Honda Odyssey with these tires really goes in the deep snow.  Happy trails,John

For all season use the major downside may be short tread life. The tread will get soft during hot weather and extended highway operation. The 225/60-16 is an ideal Vanagon tire size being just slightly taller than stock with more tread width and load capacity. Do run as a set of 4.
