Tyre pressure query
Permalink  

I went around the van today and checked tyre pressures ready to go away Wednesday. All sitting on 40 psi. I then had a look at the compliance plate and found 310 kpa/44psi is printed there. 44 psi seems rather high to me, thoughts?

Ive got a 3T van and the Dealer said 40psi. However, the van manufacturer and two tyre retailers who stock that particular brand of tyre all recommended 45psi on normal roads (obviously not heavily corrugated or sand)

Hi Ausie Paul,

I have always run High numbers in our 4 X 4 and trailers. Our tandum  boat trailer I run 50psi with the load on. Our camperKK (sold) 40- 44psi.

never had any problems with side wall blow outs this way.

How, Paul,

I am running 50psi on the den and 50psi back of tug but 45psi front of tug. The tug drops down to 45 back and 40 front when not towing. The back of the tug still has 'goodies' in 95% of the time.
