After all the good advice on the forum (thanks!) I'm having a set of 18" Bridgestone Dueler 697s fitted tomorrow. What pressures do you run them at:
On the bitumen under normal load?
On the bitumen towing (1.5t)?
On dirt roads?
On dirt roads towing?
Can't wait to try them out!

What pressures do you run them at:
On the bitumen under normal load? 38-40 psi
On the bitumen towing (1.5t)? Don't tow
On dirt roads? 30 psi
On dirt roads towing? As above
Can't wait to try them out!
Tony

Also note depending on track conditions the pressures can be dropped right down, if I'm driving on a fire trail in good condition I will drive at 30 psi but if they are in poor condition I will drop down considerably, particularly if they are rocky or sandy tracks
