Tyre pressures on loaded T32

[Kev23]

Anyone advise on recommended tyre pressures to run on T32 when fully loaded? load carry weight is 425kg tyre size is 245/45/20.

I run 50psi all round.

255/45/18... Even tyre wear.

heavy T32

I run 58psi on 215/60 R17s on my T32 campervan when fully loaded (as recommended by VW).

Get yourself a cheap tyre pressure monitoring setup off Ali Express or Amazon.

Set the pressures and then keep an eye on how the pressures go.

If they increase quite a bit when driving, they are likely underinflated.

It's surprising how much the pressures change after a couple of miles.

A lot depends on the tyres. VW assumes and gives specs for “C” rated tyres, I.e Commercial. These typically have a max rating of around 65psi compared to a typical 45psi for a SUV/car tyre. I don’t think I’ve seen a low profile 20” C rated tyre, so you’re into suck it and see territory.
