[TOAD on Tour]

please could somebody with far more knowledge and understanding help me with whay my tyre pressure should be
I have a TAG van with axle loads as follows:
front axle - 2100kg
1st rear axle - 1600kg
2nd rear axle - 1600kg

looking on tyre safe after entering my tyre size - 215/75 R16 CP 113 my understanding is;

front tyres: 69psi
1st and 2nd rear axles: 44psi

The rear tyres seem a little low, so I was wondering if anybody agrees or disagrees, or am I misreading something?

many thanks as always for some words of wisdom!

What does the vehicle manual state?

That's where to look if possible, if not then there may well be a manufacturers note with the pressures on it. Glovebox, door pillars etc.

Good luck as you'll have opened a can of worms now.

Thanks, that’s the site I used and was querying the rear pressure that they state: 44psi....seemed a little low to me.

Email the tyre manufacturer, that's what I did.

It might seem low but there's four tyres at the back sharing the load.

Thanks, I’ve just sent the question to Michelin

I've had the crystal ball out.

Michelin will tell you to put 5.5 Bar in each tyre and you should book a visit to the dentist
for your fillings to be replaced. (They will drop out with the the jarring ride)

Lenny HB has nailed it. You need to provide the tyre manufacturer with the load on each tyre and they will tell you the correct pressure.

Just a point, you quote the ”load” on the axles….are you quoting the weight plate or have you had it on a weigh bridge and the numbers are “actual”
If just the plate, I would suggest loading it for travel and get it weighed.
Start from that datum point when asking the tyre people
