Tyre pressures (again)

banter general discussions etc

Tyre pressures (again) by Lenny1969 on Wed May 11, 2011 6:04 pm
I know i know done to death, but i cant find my size anywhere.

Tyres are 255/75/15 front and back.

Previous owner said 31 front 29 rear, but that just dont sound right to me.

The tyres are (front) general grabbers and bf goodrich on rear.

So, what pressures do you lot reckon for normal road use and towing a caravan?

My owners manual says 29 all round, thats what mines are all the time.
34 when towing the caravan.
