Hi All
My weekend drive is a 1992 RRC with 31 X 10.5 X 15 AT tyres on turbine mags.
Most driving is on black top 95% with some gravel driving.
Most times I'm driving by myself ... vehicle has 2" lift, and assortment of tools which most Landy drivers would have on hand but nothing overboard.
The 10.5 X 15 tyre gives I believe give the same dia as a 16 in tyre except for the obvious extra width
Just wandering what tyre pressure I should be running or what people are running on similar size tyre or on their 16" rims.
Currently I'm running 36 PSI ....
Cheers

Ditto with what Rick says above, however if I am loaded up I might increase them all by 2 psi front and rear.

What would life be without a Rangie?
Thanks Rick1970 and Bradtot,
Noticed a bit of uneven wear on the front tyres and increased pressure to 36 psi all round.
I've been a bit lazy recently and have not checked them as I normally would and they were low in the front.
My usual tyre pressure does hover between 32 - 36 psi nice to see I'm on the money with what others are doing.
I'll monitor them over the coming weeks she unfortunately is not my daily driver (company ute) and I barely cover
6ks in a year.
While I really should get my 81 2 door Rangie on the road I must say that I do enjoy this 92 classic.
Its quieter, rides nicely on its current spring setup (previous owner has removed air suspension) and rather reliable
which for a Rangie is not always spoken of in the same sentence especially with the additional electronics
Cheers

I have mine on the standard 16x7 three-spoke wheels and new Pirelli Scorpions ATRs.
The tyre guys recommended 40psi which seemed high but I took their advice. I am finding the ride a bit rough so I may try airing down to 36 after having read this thread. Thanks!
Hi Classic88
Your not the first to be told unusual tyre pressure and 40psi seems high.
Pirelli Scorpions ATR are a nice tyre and I'd like to hear how you go with reduced tyre pressure and how they perform for you.
Cheers

I just got some new Bridgestone D697 tyres in 245/70 16 size and the tyre guys put them at 32psi, which is quite a bit lower than what I had in the old ones. However, the ride is fine and the tyres look like they should, so we'll see. I made a big mistake by not rotating the old set, which wore out oddly once a Truetrac was in at the front axle. The big problem with tyres is that once you've got the experience with a set to know what you should have done in the first place, it's too late!
At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.
They are nice and quiet and seem confidence-inspiring on both dry and wet tarmac. I haven't been off the blacktop at all to test that aspect of them. Certainly better for my purposes (knocking bout town) than the 15x8s with General Grabber AT2s which were on previously.
I did a fair bit of research first and the Scorpions definitely seemed like the best price/performance compromise for road use. I got a good deal which included a fuel card promo from Pirelli and other than the surprising pressure advice the people I used were excellent. If anyone in Sydney area is after new boots, send me a PM and I'll let you know where I went.
Only issues I am having is that they do rub on full lock but then I did go for the biggest I could on those wheels plus wheels are corroded inside and not holding air perfectly so they need topping up more frequently than they should.
