The first ones I noticed which were on Transit vans were also a peculiar size, I believe 235/65R16C, which made replacement even tougher.
At least with the more common 225/75R16C size (originally used on ProMaster vans but now they may have switched to cheaper LT225/75R16) there are many LT variations that could get you home with a Class C, if not carrying a spare, since that's the OEM tire size and rating.
With Transit tires there are no LT235/65R16 size that I'm aware of that have the load capacity to meet the 1-ton SRW vans' requirement. In that case I think you'd have to stick with the commercial tire.
