Newmatic Tyres

[Mark.sykes.]

Hi
What would the presure need to be for a newmatic tyre on a nose weight of around 75kg?

much depends on the tyre size but the max load & max pressure should be stamped on the tyre wall ,how to read info stamped on a tyre is shown on page 4 on here http://www.tyresafe.org/data/files/caravan%20leaflet.pdf

Do you mean a pneumatic tyre as fitted to a jockey wheel? If so,then the pressure is 30 psi.

The aim of a pump up jockey wheel tyre rather than a solid, is to allow the tyre to ride over stones and other bumps without coming to a grinding halt!, to that end the tyre needs to be soft and nowhere near it's maximum, otherwise you may as well stick with a solid.
I experimented and found something below 10psi I think? but suck it and see, whatever seems to suit is ok, after all, it's not doing 60mph!
