What tire pressure do you guys recommend in my bus. I live in southern Ontario Canada (which is covered with a thick blanket of snow....with more ont he way). thanks Chad, a starting point is to look at the tire itself.... look for the maximum pressure on the side wall... and look for the maximum load... if the weight of the van (divided by 4) is anywhere near the maximum load of the tire then you best inflate the tires up near the maximum. as a cross reference you can look in the driver's door jamb for the vehicle recommended tire pressure... but remember that is for tires that you may not have and/or may not be available any longer... but the best is to go to a tire shop that sells your tires and ask for a pressure vs load tire chart.... this is really the best way to tell what pressure to put in your specific tire for your specific van weight.
