Dan, thanks for the lengthy explanation.

My comment that a C rated tire would be inappropriate referred to the 53
psi recommendation that VW provided for my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL
Campmobile (full VW name for the vehicle provided because some list members
insist on it -- Oh, Scott, it is the silver-tan color).  A 50 psi maximum
pressure tire would not be ok at 53 or higher psi.

Though I am not privy to all the machinations and experiences that VW
engineers have gone through as they make their determinations and change
them for later models, I assume the increase in pressure recommendation is
due to hard data, since they are engineers.
