Any tyre with a load index of 98 or higher will be fine.
98 means the tyre can carry a load of up to 750kg. This is Ok if the MTPLM of the van is no more than 1500 kg, and that the weight of the van is balanced equal for each tyre. Assuming single axle, of course.
It might be prudent to go for a tyre with a slightly higher rating.
I have recently replaced the tyres on our single axle caravan that has a MTPLM of 1436kg - 8 ply and load rating of 102, same as OE on the van.
