Just wondering what the tire pressure should be for my Toyota Hi Ace 2015 campervan, with a high top. Manual says 51 psi front, for back it's 51 psi (no 5th seat), 58 psi with 5th seat.
Not sure what the 5th seat means as it's obviously no longer a normal van. There are only 4 seats, but I guess it makes sense to go for 58 psi back due to the added weight.
Tires say 65 psi max, so that's still within range?
So, I thought doing 51 psi front, 58 psi back.

Batman:

51 51 or you risk losing control of the back end if too high



An interesting theory, and one Toyota seem to be calling you on:



Always go with what the manufacturer for your vehicle says. Weigh your vehicle with you and everything you'd take camping, and check the manual for what "loaded" means weight wise. Then you can make a decision based on proper data. Don't use the data from the picture above either - it's not for your vehicle, only to illustrate that it's perfectly fine to have rear tyres inflated more than the front.
