Question easy q for tyre buffs

I am heading off tomorrow for a month long holiday - This is irrelevant, but I like to brag.

Anyway - the plaque inside the drivers door on the motorhome advises 80 psi tyre pressure. The back tyre show max load being ??? at 80 psi, but the front tyres show max load being ??? at 65 psi. Given that I am about to drive 1600 motorway miles do you reckon I should go for 65 or 80 in the front?

My dayvan says the same inside the door but the tyres aren't the original fitment obviously.

I'd be governed by the advice on the tyres always.

Maybe if you still have the wagon when it requires new tyres then look around for the same size, spec that is shown in the cab, that way your dilema is solved.

Just a point, Are the tyres the same width as it says in the cab?

Happy holiday too.
