Ok thanks. I suddenly realised that I don't have TPMS in rather a TyrePressure Loss Indicator. This means it'll only let me know if one of the tyres have lost pressure. I can't see the actual pressure per tyre. So that was a bit of an unnecessary run around for everyone. Sorry about that...
Anyone contemplating bumbling along gravel tracks gets a big yes from me! I just leave tyres at standard book pressures (they are stock size)... would only drop pressures if stuck. This is purely down to laziness and forgetfulness rather than a considered approach. Beer has never been too...
...for mechanics or put an additional sticky up next to the old.
Sorry to say this but it is your legal responsibility to have correct tyrepressures no one else, you simply can not rely on tyre monkeys or garage hands. If you have an accident and it is discovered that you have incorrect...
Hello, newbie here and first post.
Two weeks ago I got my first T6 - 2019 T32 DSG 4Mo and I have just had some new tyres fitted to the front 245/45/20 and the pressure has been set to 57PSI. The rears are staggered at 275/40/20 and are at 48PSI.
The ride is a bit crashy so wondered what the...
Hi FD
do you lower your tyrepressures on the unsurfaced tracks, ie gravel etc ? And if so what pressure do you find works best?
We are going to be driving on bumpy Gravel tracks for a few weeks so wondered about it, more for comfort, than grip, our T6 is a heavy camper
Cheers
am i a million miles out on tyrepressure. Iam learning
A T28 has a GVWR of 2800kg which requires each wheel to to carry an equal share of 700kg (maybe adj for front back)
The load rating of the tyre has to exceed this but its stated on the sidewall of the tyre as a 2-3 digit instead of kg or...
Which tyre comparison site do you use? I tried Tire Pressure Calculator however it only goes up to 50 PSI and I need to calculate the 58 PSi equivalent.
Same wheel and tyre package but no conversion (just sound deadening) in my LWB T32 Kombi. 38 psi all round.
There was a 40 psi maximum pressure mentioned for these tyres. I fell for it myself until recently when someone on here pointed out that the warning on the sidewall in tiny words says...
I run the same size, albeit on a 2wd T28 with 300kg of camper conversion permanently on board, and after some experimentation found 43/45psi suited mine nicely.
As its a non standard size it's a case of finding a pressure in the ballpark and seeing what suits your vehicle, it's typical load...
@Skyliner33 this post from earlier in the thread sounds similar ?

...expensive I recall.
I use the for maximum traction and to minimise ground pressure damage to very wet grass because it belongs to a neighbour and I prefer to do minimum damage even though Ii have full legal ROW. A decent tyrepressure gage with a large bobble would be a good tool for one...
yes that’s what i’ve done a dozen or so times, when I get an alert on the dash, I go into the MFD when stationary and it allows me to set tyrepressure..that clears the alert but once I start driving it comes back ..despite no tyrepressure being lost
...the manufacturers original tyre details into a tyre comparison site the add the details of the new set up. The site will give the new tyrepressures. Do this for load and no load and write or print a sticky label because people forget and it is handy for garages. It is important to have...
Normally the tyrepressure is checked from cold of course and I guess you know that but is amazing how many people adjust pressures after a run. Though if we started a journey and felt a tyre was low we could check the pressure on the opposite tyre same axle and adjust to that. I agree with...
...better damping or spring damper setup. KONI would be my choice. 18" or 17" inch voluminous tyres also can help with requiring lowered tyrepressures. If the vehicle is dropped then that makes the task more difficult to achieve and thin elastic band tyres as required by very large rims does...
Hi,
I'm looking for someone who can programme non factory tyre sizes for my T6.1. I have direct TPMS but I can only select one of three factory tyre sizes ( all either R16 or R17) to set pressures, which means my 255/45/R19's are running a little hard. Looking at threads on TPMS, I believe...
