hi.

the wifes away (only for the week) so BFG AT's have come to stay. the question is will she notice? not really!

the REAL QUESTION is what pressures should i be running them at? the tyre fitting shop has put 34psi in them front and rear. answers for using on the road please.

Are your tyres cold or warm?

Yep unladed sounds about right. Increase the rears to 38 or so if you load it up.

The guys who fitted my Cooper ST's today suggested 38psi for the black stuff... up to 40 if needed load wise.

Lower than 38 will give a more comfortable ride but will be noisier on the road they said.

I have a sticker on driverīs side B-pillar, it says 2.0 bar front/2.0 bar rear if 265/70R16 tires. Means about 29 psi.

I got my prado a few weeks ago and the previous owners had 40 in them. Is this ok for the road? Should i let a little bit out.Dueler a/ts 265/75 16

i dont have a 90 series but ive talked to a few people and they reckon that you need to run around 38 psi to get decent tyre wear, i have 694s on my 120 and i run around 38 psi on the black, ive got ironman heavy spring kit in as well and it doesnt ride overly hard, just a bit firmer than standard

Should be fine.....check the tyres maximum pressures though incase your getting close to it.

When I have to do extended freeway trips with my BFG MT's I stick 50psi in all 4 (Maximum rating is 65psi). Doing this helps the fuel economy too. It does make the ride a little stiffer, but thats not an issue on the freeways. There has been no uneven wear either.
