VW's  recommendation for the Type 3s with stock tires was something 
like 18/28  (F/R, unloaded to half loaded) due to the front/rear 
weight distribution  of the car. There was a sticker on the car when 
new that had those  numbers. I think it was usually on the glove box 
door. I add 2 psi for  better gas mileage to get 20/30.  



I've been running 20/28 in my Notch for years. When I told Tram that, he  
wasn't happy at first, until he realized that I was running radial tires, 
which  should be bumped 2 psi over bias ply tires. In the winter I'll inflate 
them to  32 psi, to allow for them to drop in pressure over the cold months, 
and  inactivity. In the spring, I'll reset them.
