Check the rear size again. If it is in fact a 195/70 it is the wrong size, not extra load and probably is limited to 35 or 41 PSI. Anyway it should go.

OK maybe a dumb question but here it is:

1991 MultiVan (poptop, no kitchen) with stock alloy wheels. The drivers door sticker sez with 185 R 14C the pressure should be 43 front and 53 rear. With 205 70 R14 pressure should be 30 front and 40 rear

Ok, For the winter I'm running 185 R 14 C (Hakka CS) in the front at 43 psi BUT on the rear I've got 195 70 R14 (Hakka C2)

So my dumb question is: do I split the difference between the 205 pressure and the 185 pressure and run about 46 psi on the rear 195's or are there other factors to consider?

Thanks,

John Meeks '91 Vanagon MV Northern Michigan
