What tyre pressure should I use?

Post by **irishkeet** » 19 Dec 2005, 10:34

Hi

My tyres are 185 R14, looking on the brickyard (http://194.242.159.246/brickyard/info/tyre.htm)
Pressures are F = 3.0 & R = 3.7

These numbers were unavailable @ the petrol station, do I need to convert them.

Van is a T3 (t25) Hightop Joker

Thanks

There should be a tyre pressure list on the front door pillar of your van, which gives pressures in PSI and Bar

1 bar = 14.5 PSI
3 bar = 43.5 PSI
3.7 bar = 53.6 PSI

If it helps, I run my Caravelle 7-seater on 185R14C 8PRs at the factory pressures: 36psi front, 48psi rear. The ride's a bit unforgiving, but otherwise no problems.

With the weight I carry! I run 40 psi front 50 psi rear

Handles fine
