Over-inflate tyres for winter storage

[Pedros85]

Have just been advised by a friend who knows his cars to over inflate the tyres for winter storage.

Does anyone know the best psi/bar to inflate a t6 lwb to?

Thanks

Yes you need about 3psi extra to allow for cooling.

I think this is to stop flatspots if stood in the same place for a long time.

Check the normal pressures on the lable in the door frame and the maximum pressures on the tyre sidewall and take a view.

Beware of the pressure being placed on the cambelt in localised areas if parking up for an extended period

It’ll be parked up until spring now, what pressure on the cam belt and what’s the remedy?

The price of air will be higher next spring IF we can still get it, don’t forget the spare tyre.

Won’t it have a roller pressing against it on one side?

Sorry I misunderstood what you meant initially. I’m with it now. Yeah probably take it for a Christmas spin to keep things moving. It will kept off road for half a year but want to keep it in shape
