    What about tubed tyres how low is every one going? I don't go below about 18psi and all has been good so far

    I know someone would say something like that and hence used the word approximately. Also, as any Meteorologist will tell you, pressure at a given location and specified elevation also varies.

    FWIW Tom Sheppard's The Land Rover Experience book (from 1992) lists a range of suggested pressures for the 110 at minimum and maximum loadings.

    "Emergency floatation" (max speed: 20kph):
    Kerb: F 16psi, R 18psi
    GVM: F 16psi, R 29psi

    Tracks and Rough Roads (max speed: 65kph):
    Kerb: F 20psi, R 29psi
    GVM: F 22psi, R 36psi

    Hard Road (to max speed):
    Kerb: F 26psi, R 29psi
    GVM: F 28psi, R 48psi

    Not sure how relevant these are...

    cheers

    I've gone down to 10 or 12 (with tubes) to drive out of a soft spot, but re-inflate to 16/20 F/R immediately I'm out.

    In the desert the sand seems firmer in the morning when it's cooler, but might just be my imagination?

    I've got a 2012 90 with the orignal Continentals and automatically set mine via Stauns to 12psi for the sand and 18psi for mud/track work. I've found that tends to suit the 90. This worked well while out with another make on the same tyres that ran 20psi on sand around Esperance. Main thing is the lower you go the more care you take around corners and keep the speed lower.
