Tyre pressures

[CG75]

Hi, I have a 1959 Traveller with radial tyres fitted. They are 145 R14 76S. Any ideas on what the tyre pressure should be? Thank you!

We also run a 1959 Traveller on 145/80 R14 76T radial tyres. I'm not sure it quite answers your question but for what it's worth we run 28psi all round.

I agree that 28psi should be fine but here is the info from the original BMC handbook.

I hope I am replying to you Keith…not sure how this works yet, but thank you!

Thank you…that’s really helpful.

Remember that the manual was written for crossply tyres, radials would be a little higher. I run two Travellers, 28 all round normal, 32 on rear when fully loaded or towing.

No, that is not the case. The drivers handbook specifically mentions radial tyres too which were available as an option

Fair point, I did not look at the image posted, only at the copy of the handbook I have on the desk, and that, being an early edition, quotes only cross ply.

Mine doesn't either which is why I've always been a bit unsure of the pressures.
