Had new rubber fitted recently and the fitters said 32psi was all that's needed. Feels a bit low to me, given it's a van but it's difficult to find reliable advice. Tyres are 255 / 40 / 18 - I'm thinking around 40psi is more appropriate for a maxi, no?
Any idea where I could find such info?

Re: Tyre pressure guide
There should be a sticker in the drivers door shut with factory pressures on it for different loads. The tyre size won’t make any difference, the pressure is based on weight not tyre volume
If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is

Re: Tyre pressure guide
From memory ... (my) Maxi Life pressures : 40 / 44
Can’t remember exact figures
(always confirm them from the sticker on driver’s side door frame, as mentioned above), but it feels *really* bouncy when the pressure is less !!
