We just had our off-Site storage guy come for a pick up with his 2019 Nissan NV150 van.
Tires: LT245/70R17E, Max load 3000lbs, 2,755lbs 'dual' - assuming that means four per axle? Max cold pressure on tire 80psi. These tires match the B-pillar placard, of course probably OEM since the thing is less than one year old.
Anywho, ran my trusty-rusty formula for this van in its four-tire config., and got the following:
B-Pillar sticker on the van recommends: F 50psi, R 80psi, cold.
My calculations: F 51psi, R 78psi.
Tantalizing!
Do you know what that means, Capri?... |
It means that that 2005 Subaru is one WEIRD car, that's what it means, lol!
Even with specs for the correct OEM tires, my formula still returns relatively high recommendations for that Legacy GT - low 40s-psi vs low 30s on the B-pillar sticker.
It's the only car I've used the formula for that has returned such 'out-there' results.
I suspect it has something to do with the factory low-profile tires. Vehicles with wider, lower-profile tires on larger rims more often than not are speced with higher recommended cold pressures than vehicles with skinny high-profiles.
