    It does make you wonder why LR recommends higher tyre pressure in the rear, even when unloaded
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    yea good point. Have you tried running yours at the same pressure?

    I run 30psi front, 35 rear when empty. never tried running 30 all round, although when I go offroading I deflate to the same pressure all round.

    I have a fair bit of permanent weight in the rear, esp fuel and recovery gear, but am working my way down to a lower pressure.
    Off road I deflate by %, not absolutes. So sand might be 40% all round

    AndyG,

    It does not matter the weight that my truck has in it, the tyres go down to 15PSI on sand no excuse.

    As for general tyre pressure i run 34PSI all round on the black stuff in currant setup.

    Google the 4PSI way of setting tyre pressure

    It works very well

    Cheers

    I run 34 all round on mine. That gives no change to the steering when emergency breaking, and is good for hwy running (which I do a heap of).

    32 gives a better wear pattern, but after having to do an emergency stop and experiencing tyre flex, which changes your steering, I would rather the slightly harder ride.


    Cheers,

    Phill.

    debruiser,

    I have no real issue with 34Psi as long as i get good tyre wear to me that is the most important considering the cost of the little black things!
    I drive my 90 hard on the black top & it handles great.

    Cheers
