Tyres pressures?

[Clemmo]

Just checking my Tyres on my Ducato Chassis based Chausson MH.
Technical data sticker inside door shows "5 bar Front"and "5.5 bar Rear."

The Continental tyres we are running say "5.5 bar max"

Mine were considerably lower so Im bringing them up as we will be fully loaded.
Not keen on inflating to MAX recommended on tech data?

Was thinking..
5.25 Rear. (76PSI). allows for pressure increase as tyre warms in travel.
4.75 Front. (68PSI)

Any thoughts or suggestions as to what you run?

Cheers
Clemmo

I doubt that Continental would suggest a max pressure that wasn't safe (loaded or not, warm or cold).

On my Rapido with 16" michelins front 4.2 rear 4.8 and the wear is spot on. Bill

That is fantastic, I have never actually found that guide, I used to email conti tech. But must say I am a lot more rigorous now about knowing the axle weights after driving my previous van around about 150kg overweight. An extra person and I would have been looking at a fine! I can see those automatic weighbridges on the motorways catching a lot of people out.
