TreforL Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Recently brought a Wellhouse conversation, loving it and getting ready for the spring. What tyre pressure should I be operating on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterS Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 it should be on your drivers door. set to max load value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritch Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Ive only got one measurement which for the tyre size is 2.3 BAR (34 PSI) - this seems rather low given the add'l load factor for conversion ? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojie Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I agree with Monster S. However, it may be worth asking Wellhouse what the weight of their conversion is. You don't say whether you have a rear or side conversion. I will be removing my two rearmost seats to have a rear conversion. I guess the original tyre pressures are calculated on the assumption there may be two person sitting in those seats (and the middle seats for that matter). Most Alphards weigh two tonnes, or so. What is the weight of two average weight Japanese passengers ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJP Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 For my side conversion from Calder Campers, the recommendation is 34 PSI , front and rear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcous Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hi TreforL, I recall seeing a post on this forum stating 38-40psi generally, and when we bought from Wellhouse they suggested 38psi both front & rear for their side conversion. However, we did an LPG conversion after and added a towbar for bikes - so the weight distribution changed and we needed to re-calculate our tyre pressures. Ultimately, the pressure depends on tyre manufacturer and load for each axle (front and rear): see Martin1621 - Other Tyre Pressures Regards, pcous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritch Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Just brought back my Alph for its annual service from Calder Campers - head technician has stated :- Front 32 Rear 37 Side conversion HTH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Eccles Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I've just recently joined and trawling through various threads. RE. tyre pressures on converted vans - I take the vehicle for a run of approx 20 miles on straight(ish) roads, stop and measure the tyre temperature across the tread, the palm of your hand is pretty sensitive. If the centre of the tyre is hotter than the sides then the pressure is too high and vice versa. I hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
