Honestly, I don't think anybody knows the correct answer to this unending question. They try stuff, we try stuff, and then we see what happens. For instance, GoWesty stated (via a telephone call) that 44 PSI all around is "recommended" for their 205/60/R16 tire and wheel package. I have used this parameter for 14 years on a 2 WD Tintop Vanagon. With excellent performance and wear. And I keep tire pressure updated at 4 month intervals. But yeah....it's an elusive question. Sooooo many variables.

Is this statement correct? thanks dan |
