There are a number of different Hankook tires in that size so which one? Is
this on a Syncro or 2WD? That is a tall tire which is not ideal for handling
and niehter is a truck tire. I would try going a little higher in the front
say 42 and see if that helps.

Probably been asked but I have virtually no Internet to check archives.
Apologies!

Hankook LT215/75R15.

Currently inflated to just under 40 on front and just under 50 on back.
Matches sticker on van recomnendation for 14" tires.

Is this the best ( or right) pressure to use. Would there be a bit less sway
by reducing pressure a tad?

BTW, 4,400 miles on maiden voyage( for me) so far for me and so far...
knocking on wood.
