...on a 2wd but the wheel speed sensors (ABS sensors) are used for lots of systems. If they detect a mismatch the van could display a tyre pressure warning (a low pressure tyre acts like a smaller tyre as it will rotate faster). Similarly it could reduce the effectiveness or even disable many of...

Not the same winter tyre, but I bought a set of wheels with Devanti Wintoura+ tyres on. Intending to run them until the tyres were done and replace with all seasons. 3 years and approx 30k miles, running all year round, and there is still about 5mm on each tyre so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Yes I think you’ve got your pressures spot on… and your nice checking of the running temps is a good sign.

There is but it won't cover the 245/65 tyre size. This is a good guide: I'm running 45psi on 245/64R17 Falken Wildpeak at3wa tyres.

I had a new tyre fitted to the front right about one week before the lights appeared. The oil service has been done but light not cancelled. I have driven 700 miles since they appeared, the tyre pressures are ok.

I have direct TPMS retro fitted with sensors in each wheel

The higher load rating will be able to resist overheating at higher loads than required. This inevitably creates a stiffer sidewall and with that, a firmer ride. However, higher rated tyres tend to be used on heavier vehicles at higher pressures. Used on a lighter vehicle, at lower pressures...

46 sounds too high (from my reading on this forum). This is a great thread. I know it references 20" but mentions all sizes. https://www.t6forum.com/threads/20%E2%80%9D-tyre-pressure.12314/

If you are concerned with potholes I suggest staying with the same wheels and fitting better quality shock absorbers/dampers instead. Koni adjustable damping are my preference but they make others. If your changing rims to larger diameter the normally the overall wheel tyre diameter remains...

Yeah funnily I did think that and do eye ball them often when checking pressure etc however notable this damage done on the inner shoulder / inner wall. Also i guess i was sort of expecting the tyres to last more than 18 months.

Try it at 36. We did thousand of miles testing different tyre pressure and 36 was the sweet spot and up to 40 when fully loaded

...that 800kg (100 load rating) then you are ok. If it’s more on one or both axles the tyres are not suitable and could cause you problems with insurance if you were to claim. Personally I wouldn’t go less than the load rating given in the tyre pressure plate - 103 for an 18” if I remember...

235/55 R18= 129mm sidewall 205/65 R16 = 133mm sidewall 255/35 R20 = 89mm sidewall. I can see where the ‘contradiction’ idea comes from but it’s not as straightforward as saying “the 16 inch tyre has a bigger sidewall than the 18 inch” That 4 mm is not going to make a difference. The pressure...

...see how it might affect the speedometer etc with actual road speed. the other thing tyre comparison sited do is calculate what the new tyre pressure will be with any tyre size parameter. This is helpful to stay safe have the best grip and sty legal because correct pressures are a legal...

Had the "following the car in front" warning light flashing a couple of mornings ago (cruise control not activated) and this morning when I started the the ABS, ESP and tyre pressure lights have all stay on. Any ideas on whet this could be please???

...sensors (I assumed it had the wheel speed version). I never fully addressed the problem, which meant driving throughout winter with the tyre pressure warning. Unfortunately, the MOT is renewed in February, so it was either swap all the wheels back just for the MOT, or throw all the summer...

...by except for a very short time along time ago a "Blackberry"nearly called it a raspberry. By the way the method that I described for tyre pressures is a good way of determining correct pressures with different tyres and rims as it alleviates guess work and hearsay and adheres toward...

I got 30,000 miles out of a set of Michelin PS4S’ at 40psi. Not cheap tyres but I’ve used them on cars before and was interested to see how they would perform on a van. Van is fully converted and I meticulously kept them at 40psi.

Most of the comfort will come with a good suspension set-up. 40mm isn’t a big drop but on standard shocks will feel cr4p. Yes, smaller wheels with bigger side walls will help but you will notice the biggest difference by sorting the suspension. What pressure are your tyres? That can make a...

Thank you. Your are quite right I assumed that maximum load went with maximum pressure. Looking again at the tyre sidewall it does indeed state maximum load 900Kg, maximum pressure 51psi without linking the two. We had a relatively high speed run down from Cumbria to London yesterday. I set...
