I couldn't afford them last year so I didn't buy them.  What was the
number  of the one Craig just found at Schwab that was reinforced? That
will work fine.  You don't want too stiff a tire on the Vanagon, it gets
all loosey goosey on the highway with stiff LT tires. You might call
these guys and actually be able to talk to someone who knows the
situation.

This is the site that was posted on the list last year.  Someone had
them and loved them.
