Tyre Pressure's

Bob, not experienced with BFGs but think that is pretty high unless heavily loaded and would go with the plate in the glovebox. Probably more comfortable too

The higher pressures would tend to wear the middle of the tyre too quickly in comparison to the outside. Tend to take the pressures up a bit for sustained high speed work which we can't do really these days, but feel those are too high.

Go have a great Easter, don't crack too many eggs.....

Bob,

That sounds too high - but can easily be checked with the 4 psi rule which is a good starting point for correct tyre pressure for a given weight. Check the pressure when tyres cold and then again after about a hour of normal highway driving. If increase is more than 4 psi then cold pressure was too low, if less than 4 psi then cold pressure was too high. Adjust accordingly and try again. I've used this method for about 7 years now and have had pretty good tyre life from all types of tyres.

By the way, how much did you pay for the BFG's if you don't mind me asking.

Cheers

Hi Bob,
I have a GQ LWB Patrol running BFG's 265/75's. I run the front at 34-35psi and the same for the rear for every day driving with no load. Anything higher and I have found the ride to be to hard due to the triple ply sidewalls on the BFGs very stiff and hard. When the car is loaded up for trips, I only bring the front up to generally 36 psi as I dont add any weight to the front and dont have a winch (but do have an ARB steel winch bull bar incase I every fit one), and the rear tyres I have at 40psi for most trips( rear full of camping gear,water,etc).. I have not had them above 40 in the rear as I have never really *loaded* the rear with heavy gear (tons of water/fuel, etc) and I dont tow a trailer.
Your GU is heavier than the GQ, so you may find your every day running preasure is 1-2psi more and your trip preassure higher again.
The 4psi guide is a good one to follow.

Hope this helps..
