Yokohama Y370LT 195/75R14 on say '80 to '86 style Vanagons (you know the
older square loafs). Or maybe even the Y356LT? If you got 'em, do you
like 'em? Any thoughts on the 205's - ie; concern about added stress to
steering box as well as fitting chains when needed?

Donna,
The Yokohama Y356 tires suck.  They are, by a wide measure, the harshest C
range tires I have tried.  They get loose on wet roads and are useless at
even the hint of snow; this on a Syncro, too.

Stick with the sizes listed for tires on the tire inflation sticker for your
van.  Just like others who have done such things, the engineers at VW might
have put some thought into it before they ordered the stickers.
