Thread: tyre pressure

I ran the recomended pressures on an outback trip( high speed dirt roads) and the General Grabbers on the rear chipped very badly, with my current tyres which are a lot bigger lugged(muddies) I run them at 32 psi front and rear, loaded or not, and have experienced no chipping or dramas on high speed dirt driving, of which I have done a bit of late.

Interesting, and I will continue to run what I do, as it suits. I have found that with too much air in rear it rides too harsh. FWIW, I don't high speed drive anywhere (personal choice, and no criticism meant or intended) especially on dirt/gravel, and actually slow down and reduce pressures on dirt/gravel. I have experienced chipping on the Grabbers as well, even at the pressures I run, so I reckon it's a tyre thing.

With the Stage 1 and 750/16 Duellers, I ran 36 all round as well, and always got at least 80000 k's from them.

There is a sticker on the bodywork just under neath the rear drivers side passenger seat that states 28psi in the front and 48psi in the rear. Intersetingly, no matter what you believe and what the tyre dealers tell you, if you have an accident and the police or insurance company test your pressures and they are grossly different to what the manufacturer says, you may be found liable. Ie no insurance payout and/or a prosecution. You have been warned!

Personally I believe this is bollocks, because there are too many variables involved.

sorry my mistake,when i say high speed dirt, I'm talking 80 -100kmh dirt roads.

Yeah, my speed would be no more than 80 on most dirt roads.
