Forgive me starting a new thread for this, but thought it important.
I just checked my tyre pressures! On advice from another thread about performance.
I have 215 R14 C tyres on. According to the plate attached to the drivers seat they should be inflated to 40psi front and 47psi at the rear
I found them to be inflated to 75 and 62 at the front and 75 and 78 at the rear.
The pressure on stamped on the side of the tyres which I think is the maximum pressure rating is 65psi. So I am worried about my tyres now. They all have very deep treads on them, which appear to be even across the tyre. I have only done a few hundred miles on them since purchasing the van. But who would have pumped them up so high, and why?
So should I be worried about the tyres? I have let them all down to the pressures indicated on the drivers seat now, and they do look a little like they need pumping up!
What to do?
