Which probably corresponded to the door sticker...perhaps they made the silly assumption that the owner would have put correctly-rated tires on his vehicle...perhaps they failed to adjust pressures for the unknown larger size. The door sticker on my '84 Westy *only* specified 185R14 Reinforced, with pressures of 40 front, 48 rear. The one on the "new" '89 I'm fighting with right now says 185 R 14C 6PR 43/53 psi or 205/70R14 Reinforced, LI 97 30/40 psi.
