As a starting point - pressures - depends on chassis / rider / passenger weight etc.
7.2/20.0-13 - A27 - Rear Fitment 12-14 psi
6.2/20.0-13 - A27 - Front Fitment 12-14 psi
6.2/20.0-13 - A24 Sidecar Fitment 16-18 psi
We use CP2696 calipers with DS3000 Ferodo pads - on cast discs.

Thankyou for all the info.
Am I right in thinking we don’t want a new tyre on the chair wheel. Or did I dream that?

Depends entirely on age & condition...you
do want (need) something that's going to hold air for more than a few minutes...
