tyre pressures
Doh!
Let the tyres down to fit Max the Van in the garage for winter. Re filled tyres once in garage. Had to let them down again to get it out. Pumped back up again, but can't remember what to pump them up to. Japanese manual no help - it's in japanese!

Re: tyre pressures
So many Bongos with non-standard wheels its tricky to give a hard and fast answer. But I run my 215/55/17s at between 38-40psi (the igher on the rear when heavily loaded) with no probs. I seem to recall I ran my standard 15" wheels at similar psi with no problems. The ride is harder but tyre wear seems perfectly even and mpg is likely to be better esp. on a run
