Tyre Pressures
Looking for some advise on tyre pressures if possible

I’ve just fitted some new 18” wheels to my TD5 90 with 265/65/18 BF Goodrich All Terrain AT KO2 tyres and would like to know what the recommended tyre pressures would be

Thanks

Ade

manual says

but 48 in the back will involve a trip to the dentist to replace your fillings. I use 30/38 for long motorway journeys but drop down occasionaly for a comfier ride.

go lower and the handling and fuel consumption can suffer Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

I don't understand why the factory specs call for a higher pressure in the rear. My 110 is heavier in the front most of the time, with a full tank of diesel I've got a jack that will lift the back but not the front.

I don't really understand the manual. My 110 is heavier at the front than the back most of the time.
