Van tyre pressures
« on: December 01, 2015, 05:30:59 pm »
I was just wondering what you guys do with regard to van tyre pressures. Obviously in the morning we leave with a pretty full load but come back having off-loaded say 250L to 500L of water (probably more for two man operations).

Do you keep the pressures at the levels recommended for a full load or somewhere in between full load & empty?

What's the recommendation here?

Pressure as per reccomended by the manufacturer.

I have found its always worth checking if they are actually van tyres - 1 of the vans I brought  was fitted with car tyres and the cheapo tyre places with happily fit a budget car tyre rather than a properly rated van tyre if your not careful.

Usually the model number has a C after it. (For commercial)
