T25 Westfalia wheel and tyre selection and pressure (185R14C vs 205/70R14)

[kalli]

Hey all,

I have a 1986 T25 Westfalia camper, which came from last owner with 185R14C tyres on pepperpot steelies. The load rating on trye states D if I remember correctly
The label in driver cabinet suggests 205/70R14 (the tyre pressure label) 

So my question is - what tyres should be on the camper and if it's 185R14C, then what is the recommended pressure? 

I want to replace them due to age (9 years, even with good thread)

thanks so much

and tyre pressures:AxlePressure (Cold)Front tyres39–41 psi (2.7–2.8 bar)Rear tyres47–50 psi (3.2–3.5 bar)
can someone confirm or correct that?

Depends on type of van too. Not just the tyres.
I always keep in mind the forum name 8090. Half it and you have 4045.
Air pressure for front tyres 40 and rear tyres 45. Not specific. But ballpark.
