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.
