What PSI for BFG Mud Terrain tyres on unladen 90 Pick Up? Fitted to military spec steel wheels. Thanks in advance.

I'd say 30 all round would be fine on the road ... that's what I run my Insa Turbo Dakars at.

Thanks very much.

On road/off road? Towing/hauling? High speed/town?

Personally I'd mess about with them a bit, as they can alter then handling feel of a Landy as well as comfort and turn in.

Off road I'd be tempted to run 15-18psi without beadlockers. And on road anything from 28-32 depending on mood and how it handled.

and yet no one's mentioned the chalk test

We are getting slack

Seriously - worth a search as whilst 28 - 30 psi will serve you fine, you won't know until the tyres have worn whether you are slightly over (centre wears quicker) or under inflated (outsides wear quicker)

I think you've got shares in a chalk mine somewhere SH

Nah - just miss the old style answers that used to fly in everytime someone mentioned tyres, tyre pressures or what type of oil to use

Guessing they're now saving themselves for the Gaylanders

Apparently you get a free pack of pink chalk when you buy a Gaylander these days

Chalk test is fine, but it is unlikely to offer the best balance or control of setup.

e.g. for autotesting (not in a Landy mind) I'll run much higher front pressures for far superior turning and steering. While low rear pressures allow more low speed grip for acceleration. Both would fail the chalk test, but both work better this way.
