We just bought a 2006 3500 Express Van for the wife to haul her daycare kids around in. The van is in great shape and she is happy ( always a good thing).
This morning I have been going around the van checking all of the little things and I went to air up the tires and I have a problem with the tires on the van.
The van has Firestone Destination Le P245/75 R16 tires on it.
The label inside of the door calls for LT245/75R16E tires. The inflation levels are 50 PSI front and 80 PSI on the front.

I looked the tires up online and there is no information on correct pressure.
I called the Firestone guy to get the correct inflation and he said the tires should not even be on the van since the van is basically a light truck and should have LT tires. He was very reluctant to give much information because the tires shouldnt be on the van.
The tires have no inflation information on them except to state the max load @ 44PSI.
I really dont want to buy new tires but I also want to do the right thing. The van will be used for short trips to and from the park and pool.

also the van does not have a manual for me to look up information. I generally try to solve problems on my own before resorting to the forum.

Ask the tire manufacturer for correct tire pressure. Also the vehicle manual has information on correct tire pressure for an express van.
