It’s a 2019 Fiat Alko, currently plated at 5000kg.

The ride’s not too bad anyway. Tyre pressures set at about 55psi all-round.

Mixed thoughts about whether it’s worth the 8k or 9k price tag.

Any thoughts from the team would be appreciated.

On 3rd van so not a total newbie....
Our 5t tag is not too bad, but we now run 54 front 47 rear, might be worth experimenting before paying out.?

You may be right. I think my pressures are a little higher than Carthago recommend. The sticker inside the fuel cap suggests 3 bar (45psi) for axle weights of 1730kgs. As the rears are plated at 1600kgs (and are well within the limit when weighed), it may be worth lowering them a little, although 45 seems a bit too low. Perhaps worth a try.
