So, as I've been trying out these Bridgestone tires on my Westy,
something occurred to me as a subject to ponder in the dark of the
night.

Everyone will admit that the Vanagon has a near perfect 50/50 weight
distribution. I've, of course, several Syncros, which might bias the
weight barely forward (but perhaps not).

When only a driver is in the vehicle, the driver is right above the
front wheels. Even with a full passenger load, the folks are either on
top of the front wheel, or between the front and rear wheels.

So why, invariably do the tire inflation specs have higher pressure to
the REAR on Vanagons?
