Tyre Pressures
Hi, I'm new to this forum so apologies if this has been said before and I've missed it.
Over inflation is almost as bad as under inflation, I rang Continental to ask about pressures for my MH, told them what the manufacturer recommended pressures were and the bloke had a fit, said they were the maximum pressures for the tyres and told me 54 front and 61 rear. neither the van nor my teeth rattle now!
You can download a tyre safety and tyre load and pressure chart from www.tyresafe.org; click on Tyre safety Information in the left hand menu and then on the Download button on the Motorhome Tyres section. To get pressures any more accurate you will have to get each axle weighed at a weighbridge.
All the best,
Andy.
