warn rear tyres

Diff bent or to much weight.

Some tyres do wear funny on some vehicle

Try a different brand of tyre.

34-36psi unloaded 40psi loaded or towing.

Shane,

I just had new BFG's fitted on the weekend and after a lengthy conversation with the tyre guy I found at the best (well recommended by him anyway, and he is a Patrol owner too) running pressures.

40psi normal running - will give a slightly harder ride but the tyres will wear more evenly and should get more Km's.

20psi minimum - any lower and the risk of damage is two fold. (plus he reckons if you are some place were you need lower pressures for a long period of time then you probably shouldn't be there.

50psi if the vehicle is loaded but the best way to determine the correct inflation is to check the bulge in the side wall.

This is by no means gossble but I will try his recommended pressures for the life of this set of tyres and hope to hell he is right.

Apparently I lost a fair bit of life of my old set because I had them running at 35psi (good comfortable ride) and 40psi when under load.

Hope this kinda helps

Cheers Simon

I think he's a bit hard with his 20 psi comment. 20psi, as long as the tyre doesn't appear too flat is fine for bush tracks, even quite long ones like CSR or Anne Beadell where you are doodling along in 3rd gear and not travelling too quick and need to get up sand hills etc. In fact if more people did it, and engaged 4WD a bit more often the tracks would be in much better nick.

But you certainly wouldn't want to drive too fast (or very far on the bitumen) at 20psi because they'll get very hot and wear excessively and be more likely to blow out.

thanks , i will try the 40psi
cheers shane

yes they were on the front but only for 5000ks, ready to put them back but decided not to after seeing them.

Sorry there Shane

I might add to that , a little.

I was shown years back, to check that there is a slight crown across the thread of the tyre, as well as looking at the pressure gage.

If too much, it will wear in the middle

If not enuf, it will wear on the edges

Hope I got that right..? ( I could have it around the wrong way ,, it's still early )

Cheers All
