Can anyone tell me the correct pressure settings for front and back tyres? 2 litre Cu Aircooled, Westfalia pop top.

Many thanks

Many thanks - but not a straight forward answer lol. Well I guess that the VW spec was as the van left the factory - ie before the conversion to a camper. So that would have to be taken into account.

My VW handbook for a standard caravelle on 185 x 14 is approx (actually quoted in Bar) 55psi rear and 46psi front. I run on 50F and 55R and mine is a high top fully kitted camper if that is any help.

The tyre pressures on the sticker are for a loaded van as it was assumed that the vehicle would normally be carring some weight as it's based on a comercial vehicle.
