tyre pressures should be marked inside your drivers' door, at least they are on mine. Full up I'd expect high 40s on 7.50s or low-mid 40s on 235s.
The farm Hi-Cap runs at 50 at the rear which seems excessive to me, and I run at 38 on my HT, both on 7.50s. As for load in the bed, that should also be marked but according to the 2.2 brochure it's 1004kg. Edit: in a nominally identical brochure the payload is also listed as 1008kg. Which is interesting. |

Thanks. I have no advisories as to tyre pressures on my 03 DC. Is the notice a more recent undertaking by LR? If it's 1000kg plus, I will factor be okay to load up significantly more.

I have always understood the max payload in the buck to be 1 tonne.
TPs depend on tyre size. On 7.50 XZLs at max payload I run 40 psi front and 65 psi rear. On 285/75 KM2s at max payload I usually run 36 psi front and 55 psi rear. |

Great. It looks like I need to be more diligent with the tyre pressures. I've been risking it a bit at 45 on 265's.
I'm collecting a load of dry stone walling tomorrow, so will raise the pressures. I don't have ready access to a trailer, but had wondered if there is any difference in fuel efficiency through loading the back with 3/4 t or pulling a trailer with 3/4t in it? I certainly notice the fuel drop when shifting heavy loads in the load bed..... Cheers Rob |

So, what are the 'normal' unladen tyre pressures to run on a Defender 110 SW then please? YOLO... You Only Live Once...

Unladen I run the fronts as above and rears about 10 psi higher than the fronts. It is however very rare that I run unladen and don't mind a slightly choppy ride.
I tend to derive my tyre pressure based on the temperature of the tyres, the wear patterns, etc, rather than simply going off book figures. I also always run mud tyres. |

On my double cab I run 34-36 psi all corners, with 265/75/16 BFG MUDs.

Thanks guys!
Are those pressures standard? I have the OEM Continental Cross Contact AT on mine. Not checked them since the dealer delivery! So far, it's a 90/10% Road/Off road mix! But I now have an ARB tyre compressor so I am not confined to the petrol station! Many thanks.  YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

No, tyre pressures for LR factory fit have varied often, sometimes by model year and often by region. Region specific handbook for your model gives pressures, so does tyre plate in car. With non standard size tyres, pressure should come from tyre supplier but they often only give you one value without thought of gross vehicle conditions.

My handbook has a page for it but it's blank, I just have the sticker inside the door.
Obviously the wider a tyre you have the lower a pressure you put in it, that's the whole point of them. |
