OK,

Vampire main undercarriage 80 psi

Nose undercarriage – 60 psi

From the de Havilland maintenance manual.

Venom had a high pressure tyre; and the wheel is much thinner.

Good point Bruce.
It is an FB31…Typo on my part.

Surely they would have to be very similar?

Hang on – do you want Venom, or Vampire pressures?

An FB1 is a Venom….

Pressures will be considerably different.

62 psi apparently from this early Pilots Notes draft.
