    Maxxis MT 753 (235/85/16)

    ~57PSI all round on road. Good even wear on these tyres. Very very quiet. Might get round 60K before they get down to indicators.

    20PSI in mud/wet clay.

    Bugger to pump back up to road pressures though!

    your tyre pressure will vary from tyre type to type on the same vehicle with the same load Ive had to adjust tyre pressure by as much as 10 PSI to get the contact patch nice.

    Currently running 36 PSI all round - on BFG MT KM2 285/75/16. Will probably revert to 38 or 40 PSI for longer trips.

    Out of interest - for those with aggressive MT patterns like Maxxis Bighorn, MTZ and BFG MT - do you notice a difference in noise levels at highway speeds with different pressures?
