Radial tyre pressures

Post by Oldmogman »

Could any tyre experts out there advise the correct tyre pressure for a Minor saloon running 155/80x14 radials on 4.5J van rims?

I know the handbook specifies 22lb psi, but this was for crossply tyres which have stiffer sidewalls. Given that radials have more flexible sidewalls, should pressure be increased?

Thanks.
