Van Cafe does not list this tire.  Nokian web site does not list it, either.  IS there a 14" snow tire for the Vanagon?  Having moved to Spokane, I really expected not to be driving the camper much in winter, but now that looks to have changed, at least for a while.  We've had a little snow so far, and no problem, but more (and deeper) will surely come.
