I drive a Skoda Roomster, and on checking my tyre pressures prior to setting off with the trailer tent, I was quite surprised at the difference in the suggested pressures for unladen or laden.

For unladen/normal use the sugested pressures are:

Front 32 psi

Rear 30 psi

For laden/speed/towing:

Front 34 psi

Rear 46 psi

Now this seems to be quite a difference on the rear tyres, and I must admit to cringing as I blew them up! So can anyone advise me, if I am doing a mixture of town driving and motorway driving at speed, which pressures should I use?

It did feel very 'bumpy' when the rears were at 46 after I unhitched, but it towed like a dream.

Any thoughts?
