Thread: Tyre Pressure

Ive gone down to 4psi......

but that was on a mil 110... same size rim and rubber tho...


got to be really careful with the loud pedal at those pressures...

in a tubeless tyre it will just spin the rubber on the rim when that happens with a tube say bye bye to your valve.

as a general rule I drop to 15 then 12 and after that its a risk assesment on going lower, IF its a dead straight shot out that should be manageable without too much noisy pedal if I get enough floatation I'll go lower...

when i was at Robe a few yrs back now

i think in my 130 i ran around 15-20 psi didn't want to go any lower
cause i had a fair bit of weight onboard

We have just about finished our 2005 130 project in readiness for trip around Australia, we have a slide on camper from Piggy Back campers which adds approx 900 kgs loaded, we have the new wrangler mud terrain kevlar tyres LT265/75R16 , what tyre pressures would you recommend for sand running, we live near a beach where we can practice, just need a starting reference!!. I know the rules and will certainly post pics, just need to make sure we thank everyone as we have been members for over a year and have taken on much advice given by members in this forum. Still need to do suspension, sell house, buy town house and we are off.
