Thread: Front vs Rear Tyre Pressures

Is that the correct size? It is still the same with 285/75-16, I havent tried your size but I don't see why it would be too different.

add to this the current fashion of running huge sidewalls on caravan tyres and what starts as a twitch on the car ends up as sway on the van---
