Anyway Elddis recommend pressures which are totally in conflict with the
actual weight of a standard loaded vehicle. At the very best their
pressure recommendations apply to vehicles that are totally empty - i.e.
kerb weight. Typically thats about 2.8 tonnes..but by the time you are
ready to roll, the thing is over 3..


Not the first time that recommended pressures are wrong. Best way is to
check pressures fairly regulary and keep an eye on tyre wear. Wear along
both the edges and not the center of the tread too low, wear in the center
and not the edges too high. Wear on one edge only bad alignment shows up
most on the fronts but the rears can be miss-aligned as well. Wear in
patches across the tread faulty shocks or brakes.
