Tyre pressure's help please
Hi lads ,
Just recently bought my first Defender ,
It has GT Radial /Adventuro tyres fitted. Almost new.
It has nothing written on the sidewall regarding correct
pressures for on road (I know they ain't on road tyres) Laughing
Or anything regarding suitable pressures for off road fun!

It there a typically acceptable pressure to take them down to when playing about
In the gloopy stuff??

I run 32-34 on road all corners, and go down to 12-15 off road.

That's on 265's,

I run 30f 35r on the road, have run 18 all round off road down to about 12 if on very soft going and only going slow so as not to cause the tyres to get hot. That's on 235s. 2005 Td5 90 XS

Use a compressor, even if it's a cheap one.
More expensive ones will only do the job faster.

Just one of the little 12v /plug into the fag lighter socket jobbies?

Got one but thought it would be useless for the massive volume needed??

Cheers

I have a Clarke starter pack with a built in compressor its a bit slow on big tyres but does the job. Alternatively a CO2 bottle from a mig welder or a pub CO2 bottle with an air line on it will do the job, just make sure to lash it down in the back as they hold about 200 bar ! 2005 Td5 90 XS

Excellent bit of kit and re inflates my 305's in no time when I drop the pressures to launch my boat off a sandy beach.

pm leeds and ask him if there are any deals going Thumbs Up It is a bit steep but everything is in the box and you get what you pay for.
