184 R 14 C  8PR  is what I'm recommending for 14 inchers on vanagons these
days.
Just got some ...
super strong tires ....the ones I just got are rated for 1,800 lbs each, at
65 psi max.
Like 'em real well.

I even ran my 85 Westy GL on 15 inch steel wheels with very expensvie
michelin agilles 205/65 R 15 C tires on it for one day ................and
didn't like how it felt  as much as the 185 R 14 C's.
