I've been having a read on www.caravantalk.org.uk at various posts

it seems that budget tyres (30-36psi) are around 1/2 pressure of decent ones (50-65psi)

and yes, yours certainly seems low
most folk are saying 50psi & over

No idea what the answer is mate, but I need to find this out as well. I'm planning to phone the local caravan centre to ask them! Smile
