Subject:Tire Pressure Question
From:John Meeks <vanagon@GMAIL.COM>
Date:Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:13:29 -0500

OK maybe a dumb question but here it is:

1991 MultiVan (poptop, no kitchen) with stock alloy wheels. The drivers
door sticker sez with
185 R 14C the pressure should be 43 front and 53 rear. With
205 70 R14     pressure should be 30 front and 40 rear

Ok, For the winter I'm running 185 R 14 C (Hakka CS) in the front at 43 psi
BUT on the rear I've got 195  70 R14 (Hakka C2)

So my dumb question is: do I split the difference between the 205 pressure
and the 185 pressure
and run about 46 psi on the rear 195's or are there other factors to
consider?

Thanks,
