BRIDGESTONE D694 PRICE

Run them all at the pressure the tyre shop told, i run mine at 36 psi. The tyre placard gives u a pressure set for comfort.

I have D694LTs in a 265/70/R16 size on my 90 series Prado and the tyre place said to run them at 38PSI on bitumen and 36PSI off-road. That seemed a lot to me as the owner's manual said to run my factory GrandTreks at 26PSI. The only difference is the D694s are an LT spec tyre and the Grandtreks were HTs. I still have a GrandTrek as a spare so I'm wondering if this pressure differential will be an issue should I need to use it.

In case anybody is wondering about price still, I paid $265 each fitted and balanced in March 2011.

If you pump the spare up to the normal tyre pressure run by the rest of your tyres, then you will be OK. If its already under inflated - then inflate the sucker....nothing worse than running different pressures should you get a flat tyre. It will only cause you headaches.

Huh? I'm confused :-)

BTW, my spare is 8 years old and has never been used to my knowledge, it's stored under a hard cover though. Somewhat OT but on another thread I was advised it is past its use by date and I should get rid of it' would like to know if this is correct advice.

paid $251 each here in Adelaide a few weeks ago. LT construction. PM me if you want the details, it was a big franchise, so you should be able to get a deal close to this across Aust. Ran them at 37psi but felt too soft, so upped it to 40psi. Feels better now, will see if it puts economy back to where it was running the previous HT tyres.

Westy.

Jax in Victoria $265.00 Jax Adelaide $259.00..

That price of $265 in Vic was a special, not sure if it's still running. It included fitting and balancing and I think disposal fee for the old tyre when I had mine done.

What pressure do you run in your tyres on the bitumen?

Latest price in Brisbane at two different tyre chains, $340 and $350 respectively. I too would appreciate a special on them right about now.
