What constitutes a full load

Travis · Post by **Travis** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 9:49 am

Just getting packed for a festival. Myself 11 stone and two mates 14 stone each. 150 cans of lager, clothes, camping gear and three tents.

Is this a full load and should I pump up my tyres?

What would be the best pressures back and front?

Many thanks

Travis

What pressure do you have them at normally? Mine are 40PSI all round (225/50 ZR17) so I wouldn't increase them, whatever load I had on board.

Get some more beer, that's nowhere near enough

Exactly what I thought. Is this a one-day festival?

Yep and get some meat to barbeque..... unless you plan on eating one of yer mates to lighten the load on the way back

Cheers

It probably will be with a few tins of Spam (long-life meat and no fridge needed), a few packets of tortillas (long-lasting bread and no fridge needed) and crisps & biscuits (no fridge needed).

Save all the fridge space for the beer

And enjoy

Sounds like you are sorted now.

What festival are you going to?

Going to Glastonbury....

Hope the weather improves.

Got some good tips and beer and food, still a bit unsure about the tyres though..

If you're running 15" wheels, 40psi all round won't do any harm, even higher on the back if you want

If you're on bigger rims, no idea

Good stuff - Never been but one year I'll get sorted out in time and go.

As for tyres, I use 38 F and 40 R - and unless they looked odd loaded up I'd just leave them at that.

Are you camping or Bongoing when you're there?

Its my 14th time.

Camped up until last year so second year with bongo.

Meeting a caravan and VW on the M5 for a convoy. all got awnings and your allowed a small tent behind each vehicle so six groups of mates, should be great. Last year was fab in the bongo, slept well and was able to keep out of the sun as well.

Cheers everyone

It is definitely the way to go - done a couple of T in the parks and Downloads in the Bongo.

Have you rigged up a P-tube? You can't beat having your own private urinal....

Just a large coke bottle does me

We went posh this year with a twin-rig. One for downstairs, and one for upstairs.
