Tyre Pressures

so where are these tyre presure charts please, I tried to google but to no avail?

I get mine from the chassis makers hand book. Sometimes you can find these online but mine came with one.

Write your comments here...Its a Fiat chassis and it says 80 front and rear but thats the standard Ducato setting.  BB mentioned Michehave pressure charts on line but I cannot find them.

michael, i first came across them (transposed into...?) in a thread on MMM.

the thread may still be googlable....

Try googling 'amc chassis manual all-ko'.

As I've posted in the past Michelin are moving to the 'one answer suits all' that 80PSI is standard advice for all rear axles!

There is a chart and Google may find it...I can't insert my image of the chart on this forum.....advice not required Thank you.!!!!!!!!

Is this what people are looking for? Manual

Tyre pressures are load specific and Bridgestone quickly and helpfully provided pressures of F48  R42 for my van based on real-world axle weights from a weighbridge. In fact because normally the loads would be closer to equality on the front and rear axle I normally set all four tyres to 50psi which is above tyre specialists figure but well below manufacturers "one size fits all" of 60F  65R. At that pressure van feels comfortable and stable and at 32K miles tyres have a lot more miles in them 

When we had our Autocruise M/V the handbook stated the TPs for each individual model and they were all well below the plated Peugot figures (cannot now remember)

Our Autotrail weighs 3850kgs and we have Muchelin Agilis tyres all round we were told to run them at 80 psi but I felt this was too high so after a bit of research we now run th back tyres at 75psi and the front at 65psi I find this much better. I did notice when I checked them last week that the rear ones had dropped to 70psi and I did think that could have something to do with the weather. 

there is no point whatsoever in a 'MV handbook' stating recommended pressures unless it provides a table for specific axle weights and the owner actually weighs the van, so as to make use of it

a van like ours has around a tonne of payload (MIRO approx 3250, MTPLM 4250) so that gives a huge variation in actual running axle weights depending if the van is very lightly loaded or 'rammed'....

so, a manual with one 'recommendation' is pointless.....

... yet again some one questioning a manufacturers figures which if not correct would leave tham open to litigation
