i have 175r13 c tyres with a max pressure of 65 psi, and a load rating of 97 which is 730kg on my van. the van (max laden weight) is 1280kgs.

if memory serves me right, should the tyre pressure be 54psi?

i used to know a simple formula to work this out but cant remember it. 

(something x something divide something)

many thanks,

simon.
