My 1992 Swift Challenger has 42psi per tyre, when we recently had it serviced by a mobile engineer he put the tyres down to 30 despite my other half showing him the handbook saying 42psi, he said the tyres were dangerously over inflated, anyway when I towed next the van felt very unstable behind me so much so the van began wag at the back end, when I got in touch with Swift they said the tyres must be put back to 42psi immediately, just goes to show that tyre pressure can make a huge difference to the safety and stability of the van when towing.

OK, Gary. Assuming that it can be accepted that the van must have the same ride/flexibility characteristics for stability, atc, then the difference in pressure for Matador Reinforced tyres must surely be due to differences in the flexibility of their tyre wall.

However, I suppose I am taking a too simplistic view, and there is more to it than that.
