Hi,

1. Very recent thread:

Tyre Pressures

2. FAQs at top of forum on Tyre Sizes.

3. Type 'tyre pressures' into search and there are a number of other relevant threads listed.

4. Factsheet in members area

5. Handbook lists tyre pressures

6. Sticker on drivers door jamb.

Most of these tell you the pressures for standard size tyres. Your Bongo is a little 'undertyred', but the standard pressures won't be far out. You may find 35psi is a reasonable starting point to go up from to suit you load and driving style.

But do check, as you have slightly smaller tyres than normal, that they have the correct load rating for a Bongo which is a heavy vehicle, and they are not lightweight car tyres.

I have 205/65s all round and use 34psi for all wheels - sometimes look a little low so I may step up to 36 and see how it goes.
