Strangely, my Dexta Instruction Book lists pressures as follows;
5.50x16 20 psi.
5.50x16 26 psi (with weights)

on 19" rims the pressure has to be 34 PSI / 42 PSi when front wheel weights)
on 16" rims the pressure has to be 20 PSI / 26 PSi when front wheel weights)
The difference between the 6.00 and 5.50 tyres is neglectible.

My dexta has 32 Horse power, but a donkey behind the steering wheel.
