TYRE Pressure

Hey just wondering if anyone can help me out, my Land Rover 90 has Range Rover wheels so logically RR tires also...plus it's got a roof tent on it, so pretty heavy, anyone got any idea as to what tire pressure I should have?

Max pressure psi is on the tyre wall. Not enough weight difference between the two vehicles to worry about unless its been moded with heavy accesories.

also depends what size tyres u are runnin.you will get varied opinions on pressure but again it depends on what driving conditions you are going to be doing,my 90 has 235/85/16 tyres and i run 33 psi on the front and 38 psi on the rear this is mainly for offroad but if you want more mpg and are only running on tarmac you can up the pressures

35 all round?

G

30 all round works well for me.

I'm between 45 and 50 all around. I don't go off road every month and I like to think that I'm going a little faster and getting a few more miles to the tank. I have a 2.5 N/A by the way.

nah, tis wot yer wear innit. Doris says "get yer posh a tire on, we'm goin out fer the evenin" or more likely "yer got ferkin grease on yer posh a tire again, why can't you change before you work on that blooody car oddone" (coz she really calls me that! )

Found this not too long ago..

How to work out what tyre pressures you need :

1. Find a Nice quiet straight road.

2. Park up

3. On the fronts 1st -

4. With some of the yellow Chalk from your friendly Tyre shop draw a straight line from inside to outside of the tread, right across tread

5. also place a mark that identifies where this is on the tyre wall outside

6. Do the same and in the same position on the other front tyre

7. get in truck and drive DEAD STRAIGHT for just a few yards. (more and it will be gone !)

8. Park without moving steering - stop so you can see the marker on the wall - means you can see the tyre marking too

9. Get out and look at tyre

a - Chalk gone in the middle - pressures too high - lower - remark - retest

b- Chalk gone on outer edges - pressures too low, inflate - remark - and redo

c- If on the 1st view there is no chalk you have driven too far, just a few yards does it !


Eventually you will find 95% of the chalk gone in a few yards - write down pressures - thats what your truck should have in it

Then repeat on rear

Then add a tad extra like '2' psi for "Load" and job done

Ok thanks people, I think I've got a good idea now of what pressure I need!
