Thanks for the reminder Ron . I get stuck & end up putting same in all 4 tires
. In my case the front may need more air pressure , due to " hauling butt "

Glad to hear you love the Hankooks. I’ve been using them on my own Buses and
Vanagons for over 15 years and can’t say enough positive things about them.
The rating on the sidewall is the tire’s MAXIMUM pressure, not its recommended
one. The recommended inflation is vehicle-specific (provided, of course, that
it does not exceed the capacity of the tire, in which case the tire would be
unsuitable for the vehicle). So you should stay roughly around the vehicle’s
recommended tire pressure as listed on the door jamb sticker (or firewall or
bulkhead sticker on an earlier Bus). You didn’t mention your year, and the
recommended inflation does vary plus or minus about 5 psi on various years, but
it will probably be upper 30’s in the front and mid to upper 40’s in the rear.
