        BRAND : BFG AT (USA) Steer clear from Jap or Korean BFG tyres IMO.
        SIZE: 275/65 x 17
        LIGHT TRUCK OR PASSENGER CONSTRUCTION: LT 9 Ply
        LIFTED? (YES or NO): Not yet. Waiting till tax time
        ROAD: 45 psi Front, 42 psi rear uladen. Pump up to suit load in rear when traveling
        BEACH: Haven't used them on beach yet but usually start at 18psi and go down from there based on performance/conditions
        GRAVEL TRAILS: 28 psi (If I remember to dump the air)
        MUD: 45psi front and 40 psi rear.

        I run higher oressures while tyres are new, and generally cut pressures down a bit as tyres wear based on wearing characteristics etc. I usually get around 80,000kms out of good AT tyres, so am confident I do it right.

        For mud, I do not go along with all of the others deflating thier tyres. I am an old school 4WD man and have had several vehicles over the years with split rims and cheese cutters which are great in the mud because they cut through the slop down to better firmer ground for better traction. That is what I base my pressures on for the tyres above. Never have deflated for mud, and probably never will.

          Hi

          BRAND : B F Goodrich
          SIZE: 265/70/17
          LIGHT TRUCK OR PASSENGER CONSTRUCTION:LT

          LIFTED? (YES or NO): Yes
          ROAD: 36 PSI
          BEACH: Start at 18 PSI have been as low as 10 PSI
          GRAVEL TRAILS: Front 22 PSI, Rear 26 PSI Camper Trailer 22 PSI
          MUD: Whats MUD :?: never rains around here, ill let you know if i ever find some

          Interesting thread, i notice some people running higher pressures in the front than the back. Why? I run lower pressures on the steer and the CT based on axle wieghts. 25000kms of outback roads and only one flat tyre and that was a bald grandtrek due to be replaced the next week.

          Cheers Andrew

                          MUD:no winch so no mud. Got stuck for 3 days once.
                          Interesting tyre placard says 190 kPa which is 28 psi. That's pretty general advice! On the hard sand at low tide even 38 psi would be fine but I go down to 28 psi because of the softer beach accesses. On the soft dry powdery sand eg Fraser Island definately 16-20 psi and low ratio. It's no fun getting stuck when it could have been avoided.
