Hi Chockswahay
Do you have the Continental recommendation for 225/75 R16 please?

I don't, but it looks like @Cossieg hasHi Chockswahay
Do you have the Continental recommendation for 225/75 R16 please?
We run on Continental winter tyres on our Bolero - weight uprated to 3850kg - and on advice from Continental use 54 psi front and 65 psi rear. They actually look a little under-inflated when fully loaded but have been using these numbers for 4/5 years with no problems and acceptable, even tyre wear (you can't expect fantastic mileage from winter tyres used all the year round but I'm happy).We have a swift bolero (3.5ton) and run on 80psi so about the same as you. I was shocked when I first saw it too.

It does depend on the make of tyre you have.
I used to think that too, but then I learned about the recommendations from Continental which for my PVC are much lower than the handbook says. On my 225/75 R16 C tyres the handbook says 5.2 bar front and rear. Continental say 3.25 bar - a massive difference. I've now done several thousand miles with them on the lower setting and they are fine with no abnormal wear patterns which might suggest under-inflation. At 5.2 bar you could tell if a penny was heads or tails if you ran over it but at 3.25 bar it is much more comfortable.Never heard that before..
I stand to be corrected.. but always thought that for any given tyre size, identical size and ratings, (on the same application) the pressures would be the same, irrespective of manufacturer.
Correct tyre pressures are generally determined by the vehicle manufacturer
