Vanagon recommended tire pressures always show the fronts at slightly
lower pressures than the rears for handling purposes.

With no additional load in the Westy I run my Hakka CS tires at 40 front
and 50 rear.  Fully loaded I might go to 55 front and 65 rear and have
something in between for moderate loads.
