Sorry folks, just off to check the tyres and put some fuel in and I cant find my handbook.

What tyre pressure should I have in my Defender tyres to go on a Greenlaning trip tomorrow.

No clever comments please

Its normal tyre pressures are higher for towing the big trailer. I am assuming I will need to let them down a bit for tomorrow.

It has normal 16" road tyres on it.

Thank you

Might help if you told us the tyre size

Anywhere between 28/ 35 will be safe and shouldn't wear the middles out!! Lower end for off roading and snow!!
Don't forget to check ya spare as well!!

No you told us the "wheel" size NOT the tyre size :doh:

Thanks The spare will probably be OK, I dont think I ever put the higher pressure in it

Ahh, OK, off outside to look

the best thing you can do with your 200tdi is fit larger tyres and that way you will gear it for better fuel economy..

does it have a 1.444 transfer box in?

I understand the larger tyres bit. You lost me after that. What is a 1.4444 transfer box

I can go outside and look, where is it on the Landy

It's a 90 so it probably will have.. 110's have 1.:1.6

it's the gearing ratio on the transferbox.

Thank you, I just googled transfer box, something else I have learned

As I am guessing its underneath somewhere I wont be able to check it tonight.

It is likely to be whatever it was supplied with, I think most of it is orginal as it has only done 75,000 miles.

My maintenance knowledge is limited to changing the oil and filters, checking the grease in the axles, using the grease gun and tightening the power steering belt. I can change a wheel and check the levels too. Thats about it so far but I am learning all of this slowly

So back to the orginal question

Will 30 be OK for all 4. Does this transfer box have any relevance to tyre pressures

 

[Pikey]

they look like 7.5/16's

they have to have the size on them it's the law.

but For towing I'd be thinking 35 fronts 40rears. or even 45 rears

Thanks, thats whats in them now. I was just asking how much to let them down to go Greenlaning tomorrow.

The size must be small, I couldn't see it with the torch

If it helps I've got 35 front and 45 rear in my 110, 235/85R16's B.F.G AT's
