Trying to decide on one of these two leaning on the Grabber 

Most likely mostly over half highway driving then gravel and some dirt /gravel to remote camp sites in the mountains and desert  nothing too crazy

What is the wisdom of the crowd ???

 
this one is a truck tire according to 

OEM Spec Bus & Vanagon Tire - 195R14
Top rated Hankook 14" M&S rated (all-season) radial tire from OEM supplier to VW - slightly wider and taller than stock - exceeds all factory specs for Buses and Vanagons (unlike most tires). Highly recommended, outperforms much costlier tires. 
Part Reference Number: RA18195 
Availability: Usually ships in 1-3 working days (sooner if Expedited/Express shipping is chosen)
$114.95Bestseller
