I drove a 86' saloon with 185/80 R14 (wrong size for a saloon, but they came with the car). One pair of these were van tyres; Continental Viking Stop 2000 C. I had them rear. Then put them at the front, just to try it out. The car became less good to drive, and I could feel through the steering wheel, that they were stiffer and heavy.
One doesn't need van tyres if it's a standard load estate, but at the rear one might not notice difference.
