Default Tyre pressures - Help please

I have tried searching the forum etc for an idea of tyre pressures and hope you can help

My Elnagh is plated at 4000kg and has 225 tyres can anyone tell me what tyre pressures I should have front and back? Weight wise I am running at about 3600kg.

I am off to Marjal for Christmas in 2 weeks and really want to make sure I get it as right as possible

Thanks
Gary

this should help, from the downloads section, but you need to know your actual axle weights...not the gross weight.

failing the chart try emailing your tyre manufacturer, most are very helpful but again they want each individual axle weight. they wont help with just a total weight.

tyre chart.

ps...use the bottom chart....specialised m/h tyres
