The Agilis is available in 185R14C, which is one of two sizes specified by
VW for the vanagon (with steel wheels).  I think most of them came original
with this size.  And the 205/70R14 on the slightly bigger alloy wheels.  The
Agilis looks impressive to me.  It replaces the XC4S, which the Michelin
dealer's guide says was designed for the vanagon.  But it also seems to be
much moe heavy-duty.
