have been told by tyre fitters to run on 32 psi all round towing or not.

Our tyre fitters are at the bottom of the wage scale. Are you sure you want to believe them? Most think you use the pressure printed on the side of the tyre. DUH!

Hi there,

I posted a formula for working out your exact tyre pressure.

Look here http://www.pocuk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=44770

the sticker on the sills reccomends 2.0bar and 1.8bar which seemed a little low last time i did the conversion?

i usually have 30 at the rear and 28 up front Smile

My approach is to start off with the pressures recommended in whatever source you choose. Then watch how your tyre wear develops. If the center of the tread is wearing quicker, reduce the pressure a little. If the shoulders wear quicker, raise the pressure a little. This method will give you tyre pressures that suit your individual useage pattern for the vehicle, and should maximise the mileage that you get from each tyre.

Hi chaps

Ive had about 7 vans before my current lunar solar 524 singlel axle but they were all 14 footers with tyre pressures around 30psi.

I just looked in the hand book and its telling me to put 55 psi in my tyres.

The tyres are ContinentalContrans 165R13C 4 ply and it says on the tyre
Maxload 1360lb AT 55psi Cold

So I guess its right. Do any of you chaps run your caravan single axle tyres at such high pressures.

Cheers
John

My van's laden weight is 1300kg and it runs on 6-ply tyres. The design pressure is 51psi.
What is your van's laden weight and I wonder if 4-ply tyres are ok?
