Bill - I have an '85GL "Multipurpose Passenger Vehicle", "Bourgeois" for
short.  My stickers show only the 185 R14 C6 PR w/39F/48R.  I've had
Dunlop 195's on it for a bit over two years and have had to drop the
pressures to 35/44 to keep the centers from wearing too fast.

Also, the other sticker shows a GVWR of 5269 and a GAWR of 2646F/2866R
(which equals 5512#, so remember to shift Bubba up front when hauling
him for a Nouc Mam luncheon!)

BOB

ps-has anyone found two door stickers that agree?
