What tyre pressures you use seems to be whatever you fancy given the range of pressures there seem to be for my tyres.
I've consulted the manufacturer, Continental, noted the maximum load pressures advised by Fiat and looked at the information provided by TyreSafe.
For instance, according to Continental, if I load the front axle to 1500kg then the pressure should be at 50.7 psi.
When I took delivery of the motorhome 6 months ago the dealer had put 65 psi all round but seemed at a loss to explain how they arrived at this. Quite a difference in pressures!
My query is, what is the legal position if the motorhome were to be checked at the roadside or after an accident?
