Jon, I assume you will be purchasing a 14" tire, But which Agilis? The Agilis 51 LI C or the Agilis 61 LI D Model: Agilis 51 Size: 185R14 Load Range: 97 Load Index: C Max Load: 1710 lbs Max Inflation Pressure: 54 psi Model: Agilis 61 Size: 185R14 Load Range: 99 Load Index: D Max Load: 1875 lbs Max Inflation Pressure: 65 psi Have you ever weighed the Van with a typical load? Based on your statement "moderately to heavily loaded" I'd guess that your Pretty close to capacity at 4900 - 5100 lbs. The Capacity Specs for a 82 Westy are: GVWR: 5093 GAWR Front: 2425 GAWR Rear: 2866 Once you tells us which Agilis you'll be getting I'll pull out the load inflation tables for that tire and we can dial you in. good road, good adventure larry chase www.roadhaus.com www.roadhaus.com/shops.html www.roadhaus.com/tires.html

Although I=20 recall a recent discussion that voiced multiple opinions on the subject I= =20 wanted to see if I could get the expert consensus on what tire pressure to= =20 run with my setup which is an '82 ac westy which is moderately to heavily= =20 loaded considering that I full-time in it. I want to run at a pressure that= =20 is best for gas mileage and tire longevity as I don't do much off-road=20 driving. So what in ya'lls experience is the best air pressure for these tires and= =20 my van?? Thanks a bunch, Jonathan Poole |
