    Volkswagen T4 1998: What's the recommend tyre pressure?

    Volkswagen Volkswagen Advice

    Could you recommend the pressures for 245/45zr17 tyres front and rear on a VW T4, 1998 model?

    The recommended tyre pressures for that vehicle should be on a placard somewhere on the vehicle. Try inside the door jambs or the inside of the fuel-filler flap. However, that tyre size you’ve quoted suggests the vehicle could be on slightly wider wheels and tyres, at which point the placard’s recommendations go out the window somewhat.

    So, using the rule of thumb for that size tyre on a vehicle like a Transporter, I’d start with 34 psi in the front tyres and 36 psi in the rear. For the metrically inclined, that’s 234 kPa in the front and 248 kPa in the rear. You could go up a few psi from there depending on the load you’re carrying, but that would be a pretty good starting point.
