Kenneth-

We use the Y356's (D) but use a variety of pressures for our 1982
Westflee-ya. We keep our Camper loaded with food, clothes, and camp gear,
so that ups the numbers a bit.

We typically go with 43-45 up front, and 55-60 rear. If we have a heap of
fat-bodies in our van, we go to 53 front, and 65 rear.  In cross winds, and
on washboard/gravel we lower it slightly to about 40 front, and 50 rear.

Our van handles well at these pressures, and the tires are wearing well. We
have them rotated/balanced every 5-7k, using cross-rotation.

Greetings and Salutations.

        What is a pressure that gives the best wear for these tires? Can
it be extrapolated from the max pressure rating?
