We recently bought a Eurovan Camper that came with 205/65R/15C Goodyear Cargo Vector tires rated at 1,875 lb. per tire at 55 psi. The Winnebago literature that came with the van specifies 55 lb. tire pressure, and I don't think it'd be safe to run the van with tires that couldn't handle 55 lb. I've only got 1K miles on the van but so far the Goodyears work--and handle--surprisingly well. I recall reading at least one note from a Eurovan owner who tried passenger car tires on his van and soon had to replace them--they just didn't have strong enough sidewalls to handle a 5,300 lb. vehicle.
