Why do you want light truck?

I have Toyo 215/65 x 14 and am happy with them.

Decent A/T tyres are hard to get nowadays in 14". You could try BF Goodrich A/T if you want to do a lot of off road.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

Exactly the choice of A/t are limited in a maxxis mt753 14" and gives me no choice but use a light truck toyo or bridgestone to get correct ratio, 185r14 (light truck) is suggested by spec plate/sticker

I don't have any issues with width as the van Is currently fitted with 225 on the rear so scrubbing isn't a issue I want to increased side wall height and rolling diameter..........
