That's most likely a passenger car tire.  According to their web site,
http://www.goodyear.com, they don't make a tire for the Vanagon.

You see the reason now why Goodyears are not recommended on the list,
and I wouldn't do business with someone who would sell me an incorrect
tire.
If you have no problem with spending the money, go with Michelins. Most
any shop or gas station will order them, probably even your Goodyear
store, but I'd still stay away from them.  They will probably try to
sell you brakes while you are there too.
