    On my Lexus when not towing I keep them at 32 P.S.I all round, but inflate them to 34 F and 38 R when hooked up.............Molly ?.Undecided

    I can't remember what they are, I'd go & look but ... Yell IIRC they're about 32 like yours, but just leave them at that when towing too.

    I pump my tug's tyres up to the recommended pressure for towing but whilst away I either leave the pressures the same or, if staying on site for a week or more, drop the rears by 4psi or so to take some of the harshness out of the ride.

    Write your comments here...For any stay more than two nights I would always drop the rear tyres only, back to "normal" pressure not for a less harsh ride, but to stop high spots in the centre of the treads from unnecessary wear. Replacing tyres prematurely
    is an expense easily avoided.
