Hi: I have to admit I've never fully understood the various notations about tires. On my '81 Vanagon the door sticker reads: 7.00-14 8PR 33/40 185 R 14 C 6PR 33/48 185 SR 14 reinf. 33/40 while the '82 Westy's sticker reads: 185 R 14 6PR 33/40 What I have on the Westy are Uniroyal Laredos which read: LT 195/75R14 93/900 M+S Load Range C So: Are the Laredos "up to spec" for the Westfalia? I'm thinking the answer is "No", but I'm not sure. If they're not up to snuff I can move the Bridgestone 603V Load Range D tires I have on the Vanagon over to the Westy, but should I limit pressure to 33/40 or go up to the 33/48 I have in them now? TIA. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Young '81 Vanagon Lafayette, CA 94549 '82 Westfalia ----------------------------------------------------------------
