For caravan tyres. I'm running Bridgestone Light Truck RD613. Size 165/13 At 40psi the side wall is a bit bulgy.

65 psi for most LT 6 and 8 ply tyres is max pressure and is usually written on the sidewall as well.

Cheers. Thanks for that. There is no indication of max tyre pressure on side wall.

40 psi should be fine. It's only a smal tyre & 40psi is a pretty reasonable amount for that size

If it gets hot after a tow, it's probably too soft.

Bear in mind that if the tyres are too tight it will shake sh*t out of everything inside the caravan.

Most caravans are to heavy for the axles and wheels that they have, I would not go over 40 pounds PSI in a tyre that size for any reason. A little bulge is probably OK if the tyre does not get hot.

LTs are made to take up to about 60psi. After advice from Firestone, I ran my last Hiace at 50psi front and 60psi rear. Cheers Stevo

I have LT tyres fitted to all my trailers and caravan and was told by the dealer to run 40 psi minimum. I usually run them at 45psi, up to 60psi if carrying a heavy load.
