That info should be in your manual.

Otherwise talk to a tyre dealer.

Frank..
here's a search thread on the forum regarding tyre pressures

Pressure search

You should find a fair bit of info in there. Would also help if you indicated just what type of tyres your running, the tyre size and intended travel conditions (ie; bitumen, gravel, sand).

Cheers,

Mick

There might be a tyre sticker near your driver's door (On the door pillar or vehicle body) tells you front & rear pressures also loaded pressures.

I tow a Jayco Expanda Outback with a Triton. Have 45psi all round the car and 48psi in the van. Doesn't feel as though I'm 'dragging' the rig around Aust. :)
Tyre wear is great. They've done nearly 20,000 kms and hardly show any wear .

I have a 2003 Prado Diesel with Duelers on 17 rims. I have done 25,000 km with 40 psi all round towing a 4.4 Windsor Rapid. Carrying a load also, in the back of the truck on Lovells HD standard height springs back and front.
I have not changed the pressures for the few dirt roads I have been on as they were a good surface generally. Not a fan of lower pressures for a stony surface anyway.
Have done sand lower, 20 psi, but that is all.
Good wear on all tires (have six; two spares that are rotated every 5,000 km).
