Tyres for 5.5" rims

What pressures are you running them at?

I can't vouch for the Forward Controls, but I'm fairly sure that in the Bonneted Control vehicles with 16" wheel nothing pre-Defender had even 6" rims, and the 6.5" are reserved for the 110 and 130 HD's (Wolf's).

I think what was being referred to was 11A and 11B and 101 forward control vehicles.

Actually, all Defender 110 steel wheels are 5.5" also.

To be honest Warb, I haven't checked since they were fitted a couple of weeks ago. They were fitted up with new tubes and one has to summise they were inflated by the tyre retailer to the standard recommended pressure, but I'm not sure what that is. I imagine like any LT tyre with a tube they can go from super high to really low and everywhere in between quite safely depending on the application. I do little if any off road so my main concern is good grip, comfortable ride (as much as can be in a S3) and long wearing lifespan. Links to photos of the tyres below. I tried to have the thread show the pics but despite being saved correctly on both photobucket and my desktop they insist on displaying 90 degrees rotated. Any tips on why?
