Hobby 700 series tag axle tyre pressures...... (1 Viewer)

[Badknee]

having just bought our Hobby I was checking the tyre pressures yesterday and was surprised to find the rear tyres to be @40lb and the front @50lb. I put the rears up to 50lb and the fronts to65lb. I realise it's a tag but thought 40lb a bit low.
Thoughts please....

You need to double that when you get in it......

Yes KK, like it a lot. Think it needs more high level lighting though as there's nothing higher than the window pelmet.

Depends on axle weights and the type of tyre (van or camper?). If they are Continental Vanco, email administrator.technical@conti.de with details of the tyres and axle weights (when loaded) and they will advise recommended pressures.

They are light truck tyres 215/70/16 and look and ride a lot better with a bit more wind in them.

Just returned to this and finally decided 65lb front and 55lb rears are spot on for comfort and ride
Also decided @Smith and Sharp is always arsing about and @old-mo is old and a moaner.
