    245 70 A/T Pressures

    What pressures should I run front and back for highway use with 245 70 A/T tyres?

    Read the tyre placard on the car.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Rave says 28psi front and 30psi rear, Way too low for my liking on a 2+tonne truck for highway work.

    Thank you for your wise words V8Ian. Do you think after nearly fifteen years of D2 ownership I don't know the prescribed pressures? The D2 I have just bought and replaced the engine has the AT's and my question is a fair one.

    I have had a set of Yokohama 245/70/16 AT's on my D2 now for about 50k and I haven't had any dramas with them.
    I run them at 38-40psi on the bitumen and I am pretty sure that I will get another 20-30k out of them before they need to be changed

    Tyre manufacturers and retailers will recommend higher pressures than vehicle manufacturers, to present their respective products in their best light. I like to split the difference.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Without knowing the tyre load rating and it's maximum inflation pressure (This will be marked in the tyre), and ideally the front and rear axle weights, an ideal pressure can not be given.
