Van Tyre Pressures

New to van ownership and using 2008 Peugeot expert SWB 2.0 120BHP. Its only used to transport one or two bikes twice a week and the rest of the time general use unladen. The only tyre pressures given are for semi laden (48/53PSI) and fully laden (N/A)

The above pressure seems to give a harsh ride when unladen and its more 'comfortable' using around 42/44.

Any of you guys in a similar position - what pressures are you using.

I run the stated pressures, but, they'll be for a van full of bricks to be frank.

I wouldn't expect there to be an issue with running slightly lower pressures.... not sure what would happen if you had a big prang and the cops found you running 32 instead of 50 though - could be an insurance cop out clause looming...

Having said that pumping them up to 50Psi is a PITA, even my meduim compressor complains..
