That document doesn't look updated in any way to 2002.  Or maybe I missed it.

I'd be curious what tires (and specs) VW of SA put on their vans after they went to 15" wheels.  More of a modern size no doubt.  My personal opionion, the 185 tire is a dinosaur.  We're lucky they still make something that fits the vanagon, but I don't think it is nearly wide enough.
