converted tyre pressure

Post by Melly » Sun Oct 23, 2011 7:19 pm

Can anyone help?

I have a converted 2.5l bongo. My tyres always look low. What should the tyre pressure be for a full conversion?

I use 38F & 40R (2.5TD 4x4, Full Side conversion, 17" Alloys).

Tyre wear looks even after 2 years, and handling is fine. Seems to work for me.

Might experiment with a 2PSI increase to see if that helps the fuel consumption.
