Thanks for the update Scott. I would be interested to hear your reports after traveling the Gibb and surrounds. Hoping to do it next year with the van in tow.

You can safely run van tyres high but it is contributing to killing the van!

Offroad we run our van at 28psi... Much nicer on the van, its contents and the tyres..

The previous owner of my latest van ran the tyres at maximum labelled pressure for better fuel consumption for his LC200. I lowered the pressures and trued-up the alignment.

I saw a reply on a facebook post as to "what pressures to run off road for my D4 19" tyres?" and they were serious with their reply of "get some LT tyres with 80psi rating and run them at max - you won't get any punctures when driving on sharp rocks"

Whaaaat! That's crazy. But if they say so.

Absolutely agree.
B-i-l runs his van tyres at 50 psi - complains that the van is falling to bits.
Won't have it that he's shaking it to bits.

Must be true if it's on Facebook.
Even truer if it's on Wikipedia.

I have decided I'm going to give these Maxxis a go.

I'll get some photos up, when my new D4 arrives.

That's a good idea mate.

Too many changes before you know what it does and doesn't need will make it difficult to quantify the benefits.
