You also can't argue with the fact that none of those vehicles are
Vanagons, and VW has specific, clear recommended tire specifications for
Vanagons.

I don't know your background.  Can you please enlighten me as to what
education, training, or other credentials you have that qualifies you to
override the tire recommendations of VW's design engineers?
