Tyre Pressures

[Titan1995]

"Boris The Bongo" is about to go for his first long trip post cylinder head replacement. "Baptism of Fire" if you like.

I am looking for a recommendation on tyre pressures . Doing a stint along the M4 to Wales from the Heathrow area so most of the driving will be at speed-ish.

I have Bridgestone tyres 195/70 x15" on the front and 215/65 x15 on the rear.

All seats have been removed but He is loaded to the gunnels right now so would class as fully loaded.

Thanks all

Standard size tyres, so the pressures are shown on the plate inside passenger door frame. Probably worth putting a couple of extra pounds in the rears though. I always ran mine at 40psi all round, but they were 225/55x17 tyres.

if they are the original jap ones check the date on them, these may also be winter tyres (a softer compound) so check them carefully before you load it to death and spank it down the m4.
