Tyre Pressures

<< < (3/3)

dxmedia:
On the side wall of the tyre there will be 2 bits of information

Max weight

Pressure

Say the max weight is 1000kg and the pressure is 50psi.

You've 4 tyres, so that's 4000kg at 50psi.

If the truck weighs 2000kg, then divide 4000 by 2000 that gives you 2.

divide 50 by 2 and that gives you the rated pressure from the tyre manufacturer for your vehicle.

For the above that would be 25psi per tyre.

If you want to get fancy, work out your axle weights and adjust the pressures to suit.  That's why the information is stamped on the tyre, cus it's actually useful.
