Subject:correct tire pressure for 195 14 8ply

If you go up to Go Westy's site, he recommends the maximum pressure, http://www.gowesty.com/library_article.php?id=309 and then to back off if things if things are too uncomfortable. So 65 PSI basically. That seems kind of nuts to me as 65 PSI is based on the full load capacity of 1674lbs. Even a fully loaded Westy, is not going to weigh that much, so what to do.

Well, I came across this other site that's a bit more scientific about it. The last link looks kind of interesting.

read this thread:  http://westfalia.org/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/81360155/m/1586022211

and then this one: http://www.vanagonauts.com/Tire-Pressure4.htm

FWIW.
