Many standard load 215/65/16 tires are LI 98. There are XL versions at LI 102 as well. I have them on 2 of my vans. I think this size is one of the best for Vanagons. The 215/70/15 mentioned at rev/mile 744 must be a typo as it would be 215/70/16 tires that would fit that description.

The higher speed rating does help as long as the tire is rated to take the higher air pressures. > |
