It should be on a plate somewhere, by the door or on the 'A' frame perhaps

I can't help because I've not got a listing for a 'Freeway' of any make?! how old is it?

It does but I'm away until Monday so don't know how much that one might weigh until then, still it's won't be a deal and neither will be the pressure!

Most 'vans need at least 50psi. You will find the max pressure for the tyre on inner part near the rim. It will state max pressure at various loads. As long as you don't go over the max then the worst scenario is a bumpy van. I had an underinflated tyre in France and it rolled off the rim and ruined the tyre.

Well not an easy pressure to work out, first I've got a Wisp in 1990 at 780kg all up, between then and 96 they got up to 840kg, that's assuming a 150kg payload. Also only the 95/96 Wisps were called 350/2 the earlier ones were just 350?.

Next you say 155x13C 90/88 this tyre carries 600kg not 535kg?

So I'm still not sure what weight your van is or exactly what tyres you have but for 155x13C with the 90 load rating and the two weights for your van, the pressure is going to be between 36 and 39psi
