isuzu mux tyre pressure towing caravan

If you’re towing a caravan with an Isuzu MU-X, treat tyre pressures like a good flat white—start with the right base. Use the factory placard cold pressures as your baseline and, when hitched with a sensible towball weight (about 10% of the van’s ATM), bump the rear tyres toward the placard’s loaded figure; if none is listed, add roughly 10–20% while staying under the tyre’s maximum cold rating. Keep the fronts near baseline to preserve steering feel, and set the caravan’s tyres according to their actual load, not vibes. After an hour at highway pace, a hot-versus-cold rise of around 10% is the sweet spot; more rise means add a bit, less means bleed a bit. A decent gauge, TPMS, and a weighbridge check (GVM, GCM, and axle loads) beat guesswork every time. Never exceed sidewall limits, and if you’re on LT tyres and hauling heavy, higher pressures are your friend—just not heroics.
