Hello All,

Running the above on 195 X 14 Bridgestone re enforced tyres. the book says pressure of 36 PSI ( on the factory supplied un re enforced ) but the dealers mechanic says ( unconvincingly!!) that he 'always puts in 46 psi regardless' The mtplm is 1193kg. Anyone got any ideas??

If the book recommends 36psi, then that is what you should use.

Hello Damian,

Yes you are right - and when I had the original Swift supplied ordinairy radials I always ran these at 36 psi - as per the book. However, despite usual care and protection from the sun, these began to crack at just three and a half years. I then changed to Bridgestones which are re enforced. I am aware that some types of tyre used on vans, for instance commecials, require a higher pressure.... hence my question.

Run your tyres at 42 psi.65 psi is only for the 8 ply rated tyres.
