235/70 correct tyre pressures please. My tyre fitter says keep them all at 36 psi to stop them wearing at the edges.
Thanks Scabby
Thanks Scabby
Land Rover suggest 26 psi front and 34 psi rear, the info is in the owners handbook.

stick to that cause if you run someone over & kill them atleast you are following recommended pressures![]()
But then there's some allowance I would hope as tyre pressure will increase while rolling.
I have collected five pressure gauges over the years, the original Dunlop stick style both read the same and three digital which over or under state state the tyre pressure compared with the stick type, even my local filling station gauge reads different.
Then there's the time the pressure reading is taken, cold tyres the say I've found that the two tyres on the sunny side of the street can read up to 4 psi higher.
So it looks if the ideal time to take tyre pressures is on a dull day or at night plus a certified domestic tyre pressure gauge...if there is such a thing.
I would hope the tyre fitters and filling stations like other industries use certified equipment, there's no need to be accurate but the difference should be stated.
