I am almost certain that these are not truck tires at all, but rather
standard car-rated tires that WalMart is marketing as fitting light trucks.
They do not have the C or D load range rating that is recommended by VW for
a Vanagon.  I say this based on their low maximum psi rating, and the fact
that the WalMart site lists them as a P series tire, not an LT series tire,
despite their inclusion on the light truck tire page.  You can confirm this
by looking for a "standard load" designation on the sidewall.
