I have looked at all the threads in the archives about this and my low IQ is very mixed up. Have just changed over my tires to 235 75 15 BFG AT?s.
The question is, what pressure should I be running. The placard in the car states 200 Kpa, but all the threads seem to be much higher.
When the truck came back from the tyre dealer it had about 260 Kpa in them all.

Just fitted my second set of BFG 245/70-16 on the Jack. I have confirmed the following figures as best for me, after looking at the wear as they came off.

Blacktop....36 front.....40 rear
Gravel ......28 front......32 rear (max speed of 75/80 - and pick a track through those stones !)
Soft sand - 18 front.....24 rear
Most of my travel is blacktop, and if you go lower than 36/40, you'll wear the shoulders earlier than the faces. Hate to be rude to tyre dealers, butsome of themmay know little about outback tyre success.....ask one in the bush I say.

Banjo's on the money. Drop about 8-10 psi from blacktop pressure when you hit the gravel, and remember that these are cold tyre pressures.
