I have a Hymercar and find the ride quality is quite harsh so have been doing some research online, one of the things people talk about is having the tyre pressure too high.
I haven’t weighed my van yet but the Hymer manual says the tyre pressure should be 3.75 bar on the Front and 4.3 bar on the rear. I have contacted the tyre manufacturer and they have provided me tyre chart. This show that a front tyre pressure of 3.75 bar would be required for a front axle load of circa 1965 kg and a rear tyre pressure of 4.3 bar would be required for a rear axle load of circa 2170 kg.
However, even my vans max axle weights (front axle max of 1850kg and a rear axle max 2000kg) are way below this.
So my question is should I take my van to a weighbridge and once I have the actual weights reduce my tyre pressure accordingly?
Thanks for any advice.
