ab3198 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 hi, I have a Roko Via (like the bristell) with 5.00-5 6 ply tyres. Nowhere in the POH does it mention tyre pressures, can any one suggest what I should be running? Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ab3198 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Ha ha, thanks chips, it was a pretty calm arvo that day so it definitely should have been a reasonable landing! I assume your're based at Coota? Do you fly from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZoos Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 about 2.0 t0 2.2 bar, my tyres are similar... I think its 29- 30 psi Tyres are under stress for very short periods and have low lateral forces, so 29 psi ish should be fine .... on a car tyre the cornering forces on low psi cause too much heat gain.... and too high gives no side wall suspension... I think you should call the dealer, but until then 29-30 would be fine This is enough to stop a flat, and low enough to provide some use of the sidewall for shock absorption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
