AS a starting point look at the tire sidewall for the maximum pressure... don't exceed that maximum pressure.... (also don't exceed the maximum weight) Second, hopefully that maximum pressure will be equal to or greater than the recommended pressure indicated on the label found on in the driver's side door jamb... for same size tire... Third, if you really want to know the optimum pressure range your particular tire and for the particular weight of the Vanagon, then go to the Kirkland supplier and/or manufacturer and ask for a weight vs pressure chart... this is the only true way to know.... Fourth, look at the side walls.... I have found that what looks like a properly inflated tire to me is normally pretty close to correct.... If you follow all the above and the tire looks low... I would add air until it looks right. Good Luck, Bill
