Club 80-90 Forums

Hi all, fairly new to the forum and was wondering what you that have 215 75 15 BFG all terrains on Mefro rims advise as a good pressure for road use. Many thanks Andy

I have 215/16's on merc ml's .. 35 front 38 rear on a westy pop top with light load of general crap and it seems pretty good ..

Cheers Kingprawn, that's a nice looking van you have, did you have to do any mods to the trailing arms?

I run my 215/75/15 BFG KM2 at 2.5bar front 3bar rear same as the 205R14C works fine for me, have gone slightly higher when very loaded

Snigger.. .I came back from S/P at 2 bar all round and enjoyed the challenge of keeping her on course with the wind etc!

I run my 215/75x15 BFG ATs at 38 and 46psi which is much the same as Aidan's metricated 2.5 & 3 bar.

Works well both as a light bus and also when loaded heavily.

Nothing done but have 25mm spacers and on the front had to file away some of the syncro rubber arch protector to stop the brrraaappp on full lock!

Well maybe I should go up a bit higher??... I was just guessing and using the sticker in the door pillar !

Hey everyone, thanks a lot for the feedback its been really helpful. Cheers

Thanks for the conversion to psi haha! if its good enough for you an Aidan then its definitely good for me Cheers

I know I'm gonna get 'told off' again but I run my empty panel on km2's at 36psi all round

My 'theory' being that it's nigh on 50/50 balance and as long as the rear rolling radius doesn't reduce to 2mm less than the front the vc should be fine.

If I use it for 'holiday mode' - loads of 'baggage' and towing the 'shed' I'll increase the rears to 40psi- works for me !!
