Subject: Vanagon .. is it a Car or Light Truck

Andrew,

"Your Vanagon is a car, Larry"

Could you please be more specific as to why you feel the Vanagon is a "Car"
and not
a "Light Truck" as VW has determined?

"Fit GOOD-quality car tires with suitable load rating"

Please share "specific details on Make & Model of "Reinforced Sidewall" XL
or RF
Passenger Car Tires that meet or exceed the Vanagon Load Capacity Spec's for
this
6000 lb vehicle.

If you have "direct first hand experience" with any of these tires a "Tire
Review
would be most appreciated and can be submitted here:
