You can check out the Cooper SRM Radial LT.  I have some on my 84' Westy.  Don't know how they compare in price, but I bought mine back when I worked for Cooperstandard Automotive and had a discount.  I've got 20,000 miles on them and have used about half the tread.  You can pump them up to 65 psi if you want.

I know that this has been rehashed over and over, but it seems that the
landscape of choice for a 14 in. tire with the proper load rating is
diminishing.
