Some questions for the tire experts in the group:


Anyone know the recommended front and rear tire pressure for Michelin MX 185
R14 94R tires on a Vanagon camper?  These are reinforced radial tires.
Inside the door there is a sticker recommending 43 lbs for the front and 53
lbs for the rear for 185 R14 C6 PR tires.  On the Michelin MX tires there is
a note that says the max load is 1540 lbs at 40 psi.  Does this mean that I
should not inflate the Michelin MX tires to the 43 front / 53 rear pressure
notice I found in the door since these are over the 40 psi max load note on
the tire?


Thanks in advance from a new Vanagon owner and tire-illiterate new list
member.
