Hi

Could anybody advise me on what my tyre pressure i should be when towing with a Vauxhall Vectra.

I have previously had a few slight snaking problems and think i may have my tyre pressure's wrong

Unfortunately i have misplaced my manual and am unable to refer to it.

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance.

Craig

The pressure on the tyre wall is the maximum for that tyre and would probably be too high for the Vectra.

Many petrol stations also have the tyre pressure charts next to the airline.

Snaking could be down to the caravan tyre pressures not being near equal. Been there, done that!!!!!
