Volks,


I've noticed something intersting in the Vanagon Weigh Data I've been
collecting.


http://www.roadhaus.com/tires/load.html


If you look at the last column .. "Actual Weight Distribution Front/Rear"


You will see that 67% of the weighs show more weight on the front axle than
the rear.


Does anyone know of a spec for weight distrubtion for a vanagon?


This data would seem to indicated we might want to bias our front/back tire
 air pressures towards the front, if we feel our van is similary loaded.


What say you?




good tire,


larry chase
