The stock tires for an Aerostar Cargo Van is P215/75/R14SL, while the Aerostar Passenger Van is P215/70/R14SL. Tires for the Aerostar Cargo Van are for some reason too big for the Aerostar Passenger Van.
I removed the two back bench seats, about 500 lbs worth of useless junk, but the insurance agent says it is still a passenger van. Funny. I even had to get a license plate indicating it was a Passenger Van.

The "larger" 215/75R14 tires are nearly obsolete, but the "smaller" 215/70R14 tires are still available with limited choices. I replaced my Aerostar cargo van with 15 inch 1999 Explorer rims using 215/70R15 tires to match the circumference of the stock 215/75R14 factory tire size.
I have since then transferred the 1999 Explorer rims and tires to my current 1993 Aerostar passenger van. The tires are too big by almost 4%. The proper 15 inch tire to upgrade the 14 inch (215/70R14) is 215/65R15.
Oversized tires results in decreased fuel economy and lesser performance.
I know because I drive over 160 miles per day. The Aerostar cargo van tires (215/75R14) are a bit too big in circimferance for the Aerostar "passenger" (215/70R14) van.
My next tires purchase will be 215/65R15. They almost match 215/70R14.

So i will leave it as is, even with the slight savings in Insurance-Payment for Cargo-Vehicles unused.
greets & have good ride
