Re: What tyre pressures ?
There is tyre pressure guidance in the wiki at the top of the page.

Re: What tyre pressures ?
As I see it
The mass is the same
The volume is maybe only slightly lower as the tyre is wider.
temperature is faily constant
We're into Boyles law territory.

Re: What tyre pressures ?
All vans have different weights. However, as a guide, the factory sticker/plate on my (heavy) Westy recommends 39psi on the fronts and 48psi on the rears, for 185 R 14 C PR tyres.

Re: What tyre pressures ?
If you want to get tyre pressures absolutely right, use the chalk method. Search for chalk and tyre pressures on youtube.
