G'day

I did a tyre on my recent outback trip, presumably on a sharp rock, on the station road near Lake Torrens.

Straight through the centre of the tread.

I thought I was doing the right thing by putting plenty of pressure in the back tyres where the load was, for the stony country.

But the fella at the tyre service says that people over inflate their tyres and because there is no give, the sharp rocks go straight through. Has the ring of truth to it.

What's the word from ExplorOz?

Note: It was a brand new tyre; done about two and a half thousand kms.

Thanks,
Laurie.
