Tyre Pressure "But I am new to all this!!!!!"

4be [used to be a radio station with that call sign] have a look in the search function , just type in 4psi rule and you will get to spend the next day or two reading up on tire pressures .

toyota have recommended psi on the door frame when you open the door. I dont believe it myself. The tyre people should have recommended then they cant get out of probs re under inflation. I have found two diffent brands wore differintly at same pressure and had to adjust to get the tyres to wear evenly. What ever you decide keep checking the wear pattern at least every 5K and more often if you remember.
A bump over the kerb or simillar can be enough to put the alignement out I have been told so dont rely on anything less than your eyesight.

Hi 4be

I have the BFG 285's on the LC100 and have found them to run best at 240 kpa. Any less they get 'loose' on the road. Your rig is lighter so I would say 220-230 kpa. Don't run them too low as they will wear down on the edges.

Depends on the size of your tyres & how much weight you carry. BFG don't recommend set preasures rather they have a measurement called the "Static Loaded Radius". For example a 225/75R16/D BFG Mud terrain has a S.L.R. of 13.6" measured from the middle of the wheel to the ground. It doesn't matter what load you carry or on what vehicle they are fitted to, the tyre is pumped up to that measurement. This ensures the tyre is at it's optimum shape for road holding, wear, braking & grip. Sorry I don't have the Data Sheet for the All terrains only Mud Terrains.

i run 45 psi everyday and find it best.
