Hi,
Being new to this forum I hope I’m posting in the right section.
I have a 110 Utility on which I’ve recently fitted a complete set of BT Goodrich MT tyres. The size is 255/85 R16.
I’m not too sure regarding pressures.
I’m currently driving mainly on tarmac with an unloaded/empty truck. I’m running at 35psi all round (advice of the tyre fitter).
Not sure if this is right/ too high/too little/ should it be higher rear & lower front or what?
Advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Pressure sounds about right, if you’re carrying anything heavy you can increase it a little, off road you may want to lower the pressure
 
From the manufacture..........
The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 is a tire designed for off-road. It is made so tough that it resists most off-road hazards including bruises and cuts because of its 3-ply construction and sidewall compound. The Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 can overcome most obstacles and hazards. When aired-down the tire will conform and flex to be able to grab obstacles with ease.

The 255/85R16 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 has a diameter of 33.3", a width of 10", mounts on a 16" rim and has 625 revolutions per mile. It weighs 54.4 lbs, has a max load of 3415/3085 lbs, a maximum air pressure of 80 psi, a tread depth of 18/32" and should be used on a rim width of 6.5-8".

@bluebeasty you see 80 psi:p

Kindly stop being a prat. This is a tech section and there is limited tolerance for repeated bad advice.

Now where is the problem, when I did a direct quote/copy paste from the manufactures spec page about that tyre? And no were did I recommend a tire psi
