what size tyres?

when I had mine, with 31x10.5R15 on it, I used to run about 34 all round,
and up the rears for heavy loads.

ISTR 36 all round for 235/85R16 which were on it before, and similar for
load. The heavy loads mine got were transferred from a big trailer. Later
found that I was loading it nose-heavy; in the unlikely event that I haul
hay on it again, I'll pay more attention to the load distribution.

36psi all round

Difficult to get a definitive answer as no one seems to give official
figures. Even Lode Lane have'nt got a clue nor most dealers. I found
somewhere a set of figures at 28/35 but uprate on a load with 235 tyres,
this seems to have given me about 50k miles on BFG AT's, but I have no idea
whether this is good or not. Main thing is the tyre temp does'nt seem too
bad at "high" speed so it must be near correct.

Official tyre pressures in my Australian owner's manual and vehicle placard
vary from 35/35 unloaded and speeds below 120kph to 45/65 for full load and
speeds above 140kph. I use 35/35 light loads, 35/45 moderate loads, 45/55
full load, as there are no speed limits above 110kph round here.

I'll bet it cornered pretty ugly at speed with 28 in the fronts!

No problem with any aspect of driving, motorway, country roads or rough
ground.

This is about what I use. I've messed about with various diferent pressures
and have settled on this which seems fine for everything I do and the tyres
look to be wearing OK.

The 28 that others have mentioned for the front seemed a bit too soft, but
that may be because I've got the weight of an 8274 + bumper, whatever that
weighs. On a normal 110 it may be fine.

Remember too that when manufacturers set tyre pressures they err on the
low side to keep road noise down and ride quality up. Much of the Ford
Explorer/Firestone tyre fiasco in the US is being pinned on the
recommended tyre pressures being significantly too low for extended road
use at speed. Radial tyres do not suffer from the problems of uneven
wear from incorrect inflation anywhere near as much as cross plies - and
with their softer sidewalls do need significantly more pressure to stop
them deforming whilst cornering.

It is true that running 36 in the front of the disco makes it a bit harsher.
however, it also makes a big improvement to the handling.
