Hi. I have replaced our van tyres (155/80r13) with 155/80r13c. Van weight is 1450 kg max. New tyres say max load 515 kg at 51 psi or 451 kg at 51 psi on dual. We have t/a van so I think 4 x451 =1900kgs. So I think tyre pressure should be 51 psi.
Any ideas
Thanks ro88o0

You have a set of 6ply tyres, bit OTT for the weight their carrying so just 33psi required.

Dual BTW is nothing to do with twin axles, duel is 4 tyres on one axle, ie, twin wheeler Transits etc

hi all,
thanks for the info. i understand that the tyres are a bit overkill, but i have gone for the belt and braces approach..
i am using 35psi so maybe a little hi but somewhere near to the pressure needed.
the exel spreadsheet is great. thanks

ps no more replies needed as happy in mind about the preassure
thanks
