Matt, The door jam sticker lists the pressures for your van if it was equipped with the factory 205/70 reinforced. Use those pressures as the baseline. You may want to increase the front pressures to reduce that under-steering effect.

Hi folks, For those of you running the big tires: what have you found to be the best cold tire pressure? These are Bridgestone Turanza's on an 88 GL. The shop inflated them to 35 psi all around- they feel ok, but a little bit floppy. They're rated for 44 psi max pressure, 1554 lbs load. I got em from tirerack- really good service, not the best prices but worth it for selection. -Matt Sutton 88 GL NYC |
