| I'm - Just about to change the bridgestone stud less ice tyres that I've got on my super custom for Avon rangers - the tyre pressures that i have on a sticker inside the drivers door are 2.5 Kgf/square cm (about 2.5 Bar or 35 Psi) which seems correct for the ice tyres as they get a bit iffy over this pressure but it is only quoted for that specific rating of tyre (98Q).
I am wondering if i will need higher pressures with normal tyres as i have seen 45 psi quoted for some hiaces.
It would be interesting to know what everyone else is using in theirs? | |

| I use 42 lb per sq inch front and rear for my camper. Seems a comfortable ride and with good handling.
Have heard in winter on standard tyres that 35 psi is recommended.
Try and see what suits your motor, not too high or you will wear the centre tread- most tyres for the hiace have a max of 50psi. | |
