GW is pretty far down on the list of sources I'd trust for Vanagon tire

A 14 year old phone conversation?

For instance, GoWesty stated (via a telephone call)  that 44 PSI all around is "recommended" for their 205/60/R16 tire and wheel package.  I have used this parameter for 14 years on a 2 WD Tintop Vanagon.  With excellent performance and wear.  And I keep tire pressure updated at 4 month intervals.  But yeah....it's an elusive question.  Sooooo many variables.
