Interesting to note that MAX LOAD pressure for my Yokohama Y356 is 50PSI, so

I cannot inflate to 55 PSI recommended pressure. Also worth noting that when

Sears mounted my new tires, they filled each tire with only 34-36 PSI air. I

bumped-up the pressures to 38 PSI front, and 50 PSI rear: huge improvement

in ride quality!>>

Yes, the correct max pressure for 6ply rated Y356 tires is 50psi, but if you
have the 8ply rated Y356 tires, they are rated up to 65 psi.

The Yokohama tires are designed different than the original reinforced tires
that may have come on your Vanagon.  Someone on the list may know what those
tires were and the max pressure.
