Those tyres are not load rated for any van, that’s why the max pressure is low. What is your van…. T28?
18” Tyre recommendations
I would potentially worry about your wheels too if they are straight off a car... Need to check. Quite a few wheels and tyres for sale on here rated for van use. We really could do with knowing which 'T' you have.
No, it’s too low. A T28 and 30 should have 103 rated tyres (or above). It will say on your tyre pressure sticker in the door jamb.
As mentioned above, also check your wheels if they are aftermarket ones as they may not be correctly load rated too.
Bit of info for you here on wheel and tyres sizes/load ratings etc etc

Yes it’s a T28.

My van is a 2017 T6 Camper King Monte Carlo. The tyres and wheels came with it… I bought it in 2020 from a dealer - not Camper King.
I think the fronts need replacing anyway so will make sure they are correctly rated when I buy them.
Have a look at the 'for sale' section on here, some great wheels and tyres available. @sipep has a lovely set of 20's with virtually brand new Pirellis for less than £1000. I would have those for my T28
So would I! Are you paying??!
So as in @Pauly post above, you need a minimum load rating of 100. What wheels do you have and what are they rated at??
Need to butter up my wife.... now there's a thought!So would I! Are you paying??!
I’m not sure you can readily get 100 rating in that size, it seems to be 99 or 103. Isn’t a 103 just an XL version of a 99 anyhow? I assume there is no demand and/or because the max pressure would still be too low for many applications. My 103s have a max pressure of 51psi and the van can need 48 at max load so not much wiggle room. Strangely a California maxes out at 45psi for the same size tyre but surely it could be just as heavy (or heavier)?? Tyre sticker from my T28 PV conversion:
I’m sure you’re right…. most premium branded tyres in that size seem to be 103 rated which is good. I was just saying that the 100 rating in any size is a minimum for the T28.
I was just saying that the 100 rating in any size is a minimum for the T28.
I ran my avon 255/45/18 at 44psi for 9k and the centres have worn out to 2.5mm with 5mm outside. Clearly over inflated but that's the book pressure

Good recommendation - I have just replaced the tyres that were fitted to the van when I purchased (Falken Azenis FK510 255 45Z R18 103Y) with Cross Climate 2 235/55 R18 V (104).
I wanted the AT Grabbers, but with 18's I don't think these would look right - these are more practical and fill the arches a bit more (note it is a 4 Motion T32):
Looking good there. I'm about to take the plunge myself with those tyres and profile.
What pressures are you running? Any improvement to the ride?

Hi Paul, frankly, whatever the tyre place filled them with at the moment and have yet to check.. Ride is noticeably much better on the new tyres compared to the old worn 255/45's - also these were £560 for the four vs £740 for 255/45 for same brand (cross climate 2)..
cheers! thats what i was hoping to hear. i am coming from worn 255/45 and the ride was rotten.
i need to get the TPMS coded for the right rating hence the query on pressure.
all booked in now at Bognor!
Picking up on an old thread here I know but are you able t
picking up on an old thread here I know, but can you still get trade prices @T6dork?
What’s your suspension set up here? I’ve got the same wheels and wanted a little chunkier tyres. These look good
