[T2] tire pressure 71 westy 185/R14

[John Anderson]

I second right around John's numbers.  He probably met keep 44 in spare though so you can use it wherever you like.
 
50 all round would be SCARY floaty in my opinion.  Mileage might be pretty good though.  Some might like a bit less than 36 in front but I like the ease of steering effort and can handle a bit more high speed float for a bit more low speed ease.  Tread design does affect things but anywhere around 32-36 F and 40-44 R will provide a reasonable starting balance and then you can tune to fit your load/needs/likes.
 
YMMV

I run Michelins, similar. 36 lbs front, 44 rear. Keep 40 in spare so it can
work either front or back. I think this is stock recommendation.
