tyre pressures

Post by keith2874 »

Hi All

I'm new here, so Hello!

I've just bought a LLE multivan which has non standard alloys fitted. The tyre sizes are 225/50/16 and 245/45/16 for front and rear respectively.

Does anyone know what sort of tyre pressures I ought to be running?

Any help much appreciated as I've got no idea what they ought to be.

Thanks for any help

Keith

This from the wiki (top of the page) should give you a good starting point

Thanks for that - any idea on what the front and rear axle weights are for my van? It's a 2.1 manual

Thanks

Just had a look around and have found the limits are 1200/1300 kgs for front and rear - is this correct?

Grab a coffee,take the phone off the hook and have a good read through it. There's info on most things & getting added to all the time, just click the WIKI button at the top of any page. You'll be amazed at all the stuff you didn't even realise that you needed to know about :ok
