What I would like to do however is decipher my placard:
Do the two sets of numbers left and right indicate front and rear pressures? And the top and bottom figures are suggestions for fully loaded vs. lightly loaded vehicle?
My Multivan was delivered to me with pressures in the mid to high 30s, I upped them yesterday afternoon at the servo to 44 all round, but the Dunlops have a max pressure of 50psi.
Am I reading the placard right and doing pressure right for long tyre life at the expense of a bit of a soft ride?
The pressure is there to hold the load, hence when lightly loaded you can run 39psi in the rear.
Do your Dunlops have the correct 103 load index? 50psi max seems really low for a "commercial tyre".
