Thread: Caravan towing tyre pressures

Running the 19 inch wheels I now run 48psi on the rear and 40 on the front. Van is 2.5t.

Tyre placard pressures are what we started with for a full car and we have not moved too far from them.

Same old same old, but a self levelng suspension can not transfer weight from or to any where !!
It will keep the vehicle level but the weight will not move, I tend to set my tyre pressures by the heat after a decent run - within limits.

Use an infa-red gun these days, the difference will amaze you, the rear vehicle tyres always way hotter than the van or fronts, also a big difference if one side only in the sun ( can vary by close to 8/10*c).

Born and worked in the N.T. up and down the Stuart, temp was the only way to judge the pressures !

Assumed you had a D4 but was checking. I can only give you the D3 figures sorry.

Super Quad road trains will shift weight around using suspension alone
