I sold tires for about a year.  The salesmen would say anything to make a
sale and the manager was busy making sure we sold enough to look good to his
boss.  I would say most tire salesmen wouldn't have a clue as to what
requirements a Vanagon has.  They would look in their tire guide pamphlet
and say, "well that's a minivan, probably similar to a caravan.  Lets put
some P195-75-14's on it..."
Quite honestly, I would have said the same thing, out of ignorance.
