The Syncro sticker doesn't say any such thing. Sad that such a simple thing is still not properly interpreted by some.

I wonder how you would 'interpret' a modern sticker, like my wife's BMW. It lists 12 different size tires, each with front and rear pressure settings for partial load and max load. 12 different tires with 4 different pressure for each. Then it lists spare tires and their pressures.

Vanagons came with various sizes of tire and the Load Rating varied depending on size. Many came with 205/70/14 Load 97 40 PSI, a load rating below that of the 185R14C 6PR Load 99 55 PSI tires also common to many Vanagons. AFAIK, none of the USA/CA vans came with 8PR tires though that size is listed on the door sticker pressure charts for many years and models.
