On road I generally run at the placard pressures.
Off road (when I actually get time to get there) depending on what surface I am driving on I will drop tyre pressures in 4 psi increments. If I have a full load on the tow ball I am a bit reluctant to take too much out.
It's easier to go a little slower and enjoy the view in between picking my way through the rocks!:)
Just about to change from Wranglers for something a bit more off road capable, in particular stronger sidewalls...Will snow chains fit with a 265/60/18 on D3?Quote:

They go on tomorrow :)Quote:

There is little difference in road noise to the very worn Wranglers that were on the car when I bought it last month.
Wind noise is by far the loudest unwanted noise.
The tyres have a deeper bass rumble compared to the wranglers, a tone that is not unpleasant.
The (255) wranglers tramlined, but the Hankooks haven't.
At below 60kph and lightly loaded, the ride is a little firmer than the wranglers.
But with a load of 5 passengers and 100kg of bags in the back the ride is remarkably smooth and is better than my Volvo S80!
Autotechnica in Thomastown fitted "Autofit 490" snowchain set (under$200).
On the front, there is only about 1.5cm clearence between the beefy sidewall of the Hankooks and the suspension arm (tie rod?) but they do fit on the rear tyres without a hassle.
I am surprised that data about clearances hasn't become easily available.
The width of tyre from sidewall to sidewall when combined with clearance data between wheel rim and suspension components is enough data to figure out if a tire will fit.
Such data is available from CAD.
The width of tread making contact with road is useful but it is the overall width of tyre that is critical to understanding if it will fit in the internal space.
So far, I am very happy with the Hankooks, the practice emergency stops Ive done on cold wet tarmac, gravel and ice are not scientific, but I am highly satisfied with the stopping distances.

Glad to hear you're happy. Not a lot of clearance there though.
That is the front, here is the back.Quote:
