You cant go wrong with the Hankook's. They are a tire that meets all the requirements for a Vanagon/Westy. Since we basically ride in a "loaf of bread" on wheels, the 8 ply sidewall is a needed safety factor. Most L/T and passenger tires dont have the extra plys. I installed a set just yesterday and they replaced the Yokohama Y356 I had. So far I can say that they seem to ride smoother and handle better than the Yokohama's did. The Yokohama tires are a reinforced 8 ply as well and are fine and safe to run on a Vanagon. Your choice....and hats off to you for doing your homework B4 spending your hard earned money on a tire thats not designed for our particular "loaf of bread".
