Tyre Pressures

[Flash514OVE]

Hi, my 6m Ford Transit Flash514 has the 16" alloys, 235/65R16C tyres. What pressure might people be putting in their tyres? Inside the door the Ford sticker says 51psi front, 61psi rear. Seems a lot, is that what others here are doing?

That's quite low for a Motorhome, by the size looks like you have standard commercial tyres so best to contact the tyre manufacturer and give them your axle weights.

I run Toyo Observe Van 225/75/16 with the front axle at 1930kg & Rear axle at 2300 kg, tyre pressures are 56 psi front & 69 psi rear.

Thanks, so maybe my 61 on the rear isn't too much after all. Thanks, realised I should post this to the Chauson area too

Use your axle weight with this link.

I use 50/60psi on my transit feels about right....
