NV2500 with KO2's - What tire pressure.

[BCTony]

My garage has just fitted 285/70/17 to my NV2500 High Roof and have just called me to say that the maximum tire pressure on KO2's is 50psi as oppose to 80psi on stock tires.

It seems that KO2's are a popular choice for NV2500/NV3500/NVP owners.

What tire pressures are used and does this affect maximum load carrying capacity?

What model tires did they put on?  Those tires come in a lot of flavors.  Some are E rated with a max pressure of 80psi.  Those would be fine.  Others not so much.

It has now become clear that the tires fitted are not E rated. These will have to be changed.
