We can't remember the tire pressures at the first occurrence, but since that time, we have kept the front tires at 60 and the rear at 65 psi religiously, but had a second flat tire anyway. Since replacing the second tire, we have upped the pressures to 80 on all tires, hoping that will be better. What do you think? Any opinions as to proper tire pressures on the van? Our Dodge van door recommends 80psi but a sticker inside an Airstream cabinet in the camper section of the van stated the 60,65 setup, I think.

Uhh, YOU are the one that said you got 90,000 and 180,000 miles.
