You have 694s on your vehicle they are light truck radials when we were there a few years back I had them on they were 10 ply and had at least 40 lbs of air in them at all times on the black top and the dirt and didnt have a worry just drive to the conditions if you let them down they will bulge and the chances of having the walls sliced is a concern as the walls are 3 ply so for what it is worth keep em pumped up have a good trip the place is beautiful Hayd & Jude

Probably around 30 and 18 , but tyre pressures depend on weight and loading and size of tyre - might be helpful to say what your driving and type and size of tyre Benno.

The most common mistake in the Flinders is to drive too fast with too much pressure and too much weight - sharp rocks will puncture through the tread.

So I'll assume that you won't be driving faster than say 80kph on dirt and you are not overloaded, I'd usually run about 25psi Front /28psi Rear on most vehicles on most tracks.

On the highway run whatever pressures you'd normally run.

Thanks everyone. Have a mitsi challenger and did skytrck on worn bridgestone HTs. last trip. No probs. Just want to look after new A/Ts. Not carrying much load. Take info on board. Had plenty of rain up there. Should be plenty of wildflowers. Cant wait.

in a fully loaded troopy and heavy trailer carting backpackers around the flinders for a couple of years,i used to run 32 in the rear and 28 in the front, no dramas with tyres ,just remember your speed

We've been all over the FLinders on D694 for plenty of years now and always use around 26 front and 28 rear of loaded and reduce speed on the normal dirt roads. Same pressures for low range work are OK unless you are in really rocky terrain on the private tracks

One thing to be very aware of is that there are lots of hoppers up there now so be prepared with a piece of shade cloth and cable ties or something better to protect your radiator etc

did this may 2009 on Bf all terrain. As we were way over loaded, i only backed off pressure to 30 odd. The best thing is to go slow. bleep does not happen if you are going slow. You are in more danger from the flies.
