It's still too early to tell if they are wearing evenly across the tread and as I'll rotate them every 10,000km I may never know.

I run them at 38psi, all 4. I know some people have different ideas on pressure front to rear but I'm happy with the way it handles with the pressure as is. I do drive a little hard some times and I like the firmer ride and less tyre roll in corners. They get let down to 25psi off road. I'd go lower on sand but just haven't been on sand yet.

The Disco weighed in at 2460kg before I fitted the roof top tent and awning. I'll be weighing it again soon as I'm loading for a trip to the Gibb River Rd.

ooops my mistake - typo alert - should have said 315/75 R 16

Hey Garry,

Even though you made a Typo and changed your tyre size to 75 series. That's still only 34.5 inches. At that size it doesnt take too much pressure change to make 0.5 inch of differance.
