FWIW, I have had several sets of Wrangler tires on new vehicles (Jeeps) and
every time, they have SUCKED!  I don't know if these OEM tires are a special
"cheap" version, but in each case, I got less that 15,000 miles from them.

Try Goodyear Wrangler HT 185R14 load range C 1708lbs @ 53psi
The Wrangler HT is an all-season highway tire designed especially for
light trucks and vans.
It is Goodyears quietest Wrangler tire.
You can get these from any Goodyear dealer or a Sears.
They should be more than adequate for a Vanagon.
