Tyres for a Fiat Ducato Motormone [2017]
Permalink  

I own a Trakka Torino with Continental Vanco 4 Seasons tyres 225/75R 16C   M&S.They are wearing well at 1800km But they are noisy,and we feel all the vibrations. Will a member please advise on alternative tyres. I apply the recommended pressure of 63psi[front] 75psi[rear].Is this for when Ducato is used as a delivery van? should I reduce the pressures?

Thank you in anticipation of your help.    Torino[David]

Tyre pressures should be set according to the weight carried on each axle.
Get the vehicle weighed one axle at a time first and then reasonable advise can be given as to the appropriate pressures to use, not before.
Cheers,
Peter

80 psi is recommended, but too much on our 2014 Duccato - rode like a brick. Running 70 at rear and 65 in front, tyre wear very good and a lot more comfortable to ride in. Weight is about 3600 kg, heavier to rear.

I run the existing continentals at 63/70 but it is a noisy rough ride. Thanks to contributors. I have investigated Federal and Michelin. More suggestions welcome Torino
