If you look at your door sticker and see the size 205/70/14 listed on
it, look to the right and it will say a load index number. Most door
stickers I have seen say 97 for THAT SIZE which is a PASSENGER size
normally and only allowable on a Vanagon if a reinforced or extra load
type, which that tire is. Some later Vanagon models says 99 for that
size. That tire is rated 98, so use your own discretion. I would use it
for a van that says 97 but pressure comes into play too.
