I`ve a Daystar and don`t really know the correct pressure.  I have very stiff suspension too for whatever reason . . .I find 44psi allows me to run at 60mph without warming the tyres much at all.  The gross weight`ll be around 1100kg maybe less cos I`ve ditched the fire and oven,  If the pressure is too high, then a rut in the road could overstress it.

We love the `van and it tows so well behind a Berlingo.

The right tyre pressure is not always easy to obtain.  I appreciate 52psi may be ok for the load concerned.

But what is your max tyre pressure?  Is it 65psi, same as mine?  It`s too high for that.  There`s insufficient safety margin imho (don`t like that phrase) But I appreciate the arguments;  keep `em coming.  I`m open to presuation, nay grateful for such input.

I have a similar posting a few months back on this subject. . . .

here`s some more info.  Previous posting from someone.  Hope it helps.
