There may be a recommended tire pressure from the factory in 1973. However, I don't think you have the original tires from 1973, so this is what you look for-
1) Look at the side wall of your tire
2) Find the tire size information (example 195/70/13)
3) Below or after that their will be a psi setting (max cold psi 32)
4) Most tires are set between 28-32 psi cold.
A 1973 Volkswagen beetle weighs under 2000 lbs so the recommended tire pressure is only around 20 psi in the front and 25 psi in the rear. It's actually a little less. Visit classicvwbugs.com for additional information.
