I must have been re-directed there at some point.

The official website recommends the same tire, and I chose the 87 model
because that was as far back as the official website goes.

I'm not advocating the use of these non-reinforced tires, just pointing out
that Hankook does.

"Hankook Tire of Kansas City" isn't the "Hankook website," it appears
to be a dealer, or at least someone marketing to dealers. The domain
definitely does not belong to Hankook Tire. The real Hankook USA site (
http://www.hankooktireusa.com/ ) doesn't even show the Vanagon under
1987 VW models.
