Not totally true Scott.  Some years back, just for kicks, I did a survey (on
vehicles I could walk up to at a WetWesties gathering and also asked people
online for info and several in a local bone yard) and VW increased the
recommended pressure over the years.  From about '88 on, on a Westy, for the
185R14 they say 43 front, 53 rear.  What prompted my mini survey was a
discussion just like this.
And my (very subjective) testing of various inflations on my rig, first with
Michelin Agilis and now with Hakka CS I've found the 43-45 front 53-55 rear
gives me the best feel/handling.  But this is a truly YMMV situation.
