Goodday all
I am off to Namibia and would like some feed back on the best tyre pressure to use on the gravel roads.
I have a sprite swing nomad with 15 in tyres
Many thanks

Met die Explorer en alles in ag geneem, tov die gewig, pad oppervlakte en spoed bring ek die voertuig en wa se banddruk af na 1.8 bar.

Die voertuig en wa stamp nie so erg en alles is nog op hul plek.

Spoed wissel tov die pad oppervlakte, 20 to 30 km/pu. as dit baie sinkplaat is.



As jy wil he jou drome moet waar word, moet jy eers wakker word.

I deflate car and Explorer that has the same 15" tyres to 1.5.

In Namiba the roads are good and I travelled mostly at 80km/h

1.5 bar. For normal gravel roads, nice and comfortable.

Wat is jou RV se gewig.

Froggy se plakker by sy wiele sê 4.5 bar, maar dit is baie hoog. Ek ry nou al vir jare op 3.5 bar. Teerpad, maar op die grond pad stamp hy nog baie op daar druk. Ek het airbags agter wat help, maar voor skud dit baie.

Ek weeg 3.5 ton. Wonder as ek af gaan na 3 bar (dalk nog laer) op grondpad of dit beter sal wees en of bande oraait gaan wees.

Wat dink jy ?

We drive thousands of km on gravel roads and we drop to 1,4 bar. However towing, i would go to 1,8 rear and 1,4 front. Dont exceed 100 kph.

Froggy myne weeg 2650 kg mag gaan na 3050 kg
My bande verskaffer beveel aan dat ek nie oor 4.5 bar gaan nie sodat die bande nog die potholes kan hanteer
Wat ek wel agter gekom het as ek na 3.5 of laer op die agter wielle gaan het ek ń roll beweging wat my ry veilligheid belemmer

Dit hang baie af van die gewig van jou voertuig. Maar sal ook aanbeveel 1.4 tot 1.8. Gaan net maak dat alles heel anderkant uitkom.

Dan help dit ook nie jy blaas bande af en ry baie vinnig nie. In die geval sal ek maksimum 80km/h aanbeveel.

Die dubbel agterwiele help vir die rol, maar eet my weer by die tol hekke.

Ek kan max 4660 kg gaan met gewig, maar hardloop so ± 3500 kg

Op teer ry ek max 120 km/h, maar gewoonlik so 110 km/h. Grondpad, baie stadiger. Wil nie eintlik grondpad ry oor die gestamp. Bang dinge val uitmekaar.

Sal dal n toets doen met die druk. Dit is net nie maklik om daai dubbel agterwiele te pomp nie.

Dankie vir julle info

Baie geleer, maar dit bekommer bietjie dat ons wisselende oppinies het van 1.4 tot 4 bar?
Ek het, miskien verkeerdelik, tot nou toe met die Explorer en kar (agter) 3 bar gery op teerpad en harde maar redelike grondpad.
Sanderige en sinkplaat grondpad 1.6-2.0, afhangende van die toestand van die pad
Miskien moet ek bietjie afskaal?
