I have a E460 Bessacarr motorhome 100 multijet, I have been putting 65psi in my tyres front and back, seems ok, was talking to a chap with a similar van the other day and he says that's to much, should be 70 on the back, any one have a similar van?

The tyre pressure information is usually on a small notice on the inside of the door frame. You could always visit the Swift website and download the handbook.

I suppose to do it properly,we should weight our vehicles(both axles)then contact the tyre manufacture with these figures...they should then be able to supply the correct pressures..

Unfortunately when we did this, for the rears,all that Michelin did was to me quote the max pressure that was on the tyre, 70psi(I think?).

..and at those pressures, the ride was hard as nails and jarred your fillings!?...

So we run at 55psi front 60psi rear..(..and I checked that the tyres don't "overheat" at that).
