Anyone with VB airsystem and MTM equal to 3400kg??
I heard that with the VB airsystem you can request the dealer to increase the MTM of the T6 upto 3400kg.
is that correct??
And what would be the loadcapacity of each axle?

Just back from a trip to and from Venosc in France. Only a little bit of snow and some ice I was dealing with each day and the last morning it chucked it down. Tyres are amazing. I need to keep an eye on wear but love them. Ride is better, no noise. Fab tyres

Just fitted Cooper ATTs (225 60 17) to my van. ATS inflated to 45 psi and the steering feels way too light.
I’ve now adjusted to 42 psi (cold) and see how that goes. Would anybody have any other advice or suggestions?

I left mine at 45 psi. I haven't noticed any issues tbh. I used the 45 psi setting as that is the lowest setting I can find in the menu (it's for 18" wheels). I have TPMS so needed at preset psi so I don't set off any low tyre pressure alarms.

I've got Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3WA 235/65/17 tyres, running at 42 psi as advised by THQ, no issues to report

Is the tire pressure yes/no different when the van is fully loaded or empty?
I would like to see a chart with pressure versus weight (per tire).

I've got a similar setup to @tonybb66 except with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tyres and was also advised that 42 PSI was the optimum - nothing was mentioned re. the payload

 

[tonybb66]

THQ knew it was a campervan so presume all ok with the psi recommended, not tested when fully loaded, only me in it so never tested it

Possibly 40 or a bit less when unloaded?

 

[Linoleum Bonypart]

Sure it says 45 on the panel in the van

 

[FerrisBFW]

There is a lot of discussion on tyre pressures here Maybe this needs a thread of its own?

Just try it and see how it feels maybe!

Might even eat into a couple of MPG or 3..., but who cares. We love the grip and they look fab!!!

They look amazing. Noise will equal -mpg for sure. I thought my Falken Wildthing's were just for winter but they dont make any noise and make the ride so much better so they are staying for the time being. Might sell the summer wheels tbh
