Hi, According to my Goodyear brochure, this tire does not come in size 215/75R14, only 215/70R14. Also, according to the brochure, the 205/70R14 is a passenger rated tire (not light truck) and supports only 1412lbs at 35psi, which is just barely adequate for a non-Westy Vanagon.

This past Friday I got rid of some old marshmallow Toyo's that came with my Vanagon and got the 215/75R14 Goodyear Workhorse radials, a light truck tire, reinforced with A/T tread. They are fantastic. I haven't had a chance to try them out in rain or snow, but on dry pavement they make the ride, handling, and overall feel much, much better than before. And they're big and provide a higher stance and better look than the old ones.
