Thanks
Crunching the data:
The OP's modern tire is Michelin Defender in 195/70R14 is rated at 1,356 lbs when inflated to 44 psi
The OP's and your 84 300 SD has a per wheel max weight of Front 1,158 LB and Rear 1,218 lb
The factory inflation for full load is Front 30 PSI and Rear 34 PSI
I'd need to see a load Vs inflation chart but on the surface, the factory specs seem woefully low for a modern tire.
Data I still need:
Factory tire load rating / max inflation.
84 300SD empty front / rear weights ( or payload rating )
