Begin with the recommended pressures on the tire placard on the van. As
these tires are a larger size the carrying capacity will already be slightly
increased at those pressures. To rally get it right have the van weighed
loaded as you travel and use the tire/load inflation table for that tire.

I just got my  Vredestein Comtrac All Season 195R14C C/6PR BSW tires
installed yesterday although not studded they ride quiet and has a nice
aggressive tread. The new tires replaced my RA08 tires. 
A question ! What PSI would be advisable for the Comtrac tires ? 
45 F and 55 R ? On my 88' GL Westy camper.
