Tyre pressure
Anyone knows, why LR recommends such enormous tyre pressure through TPMS system. They want front tyres to be at 2.6 and rear tyres at 2.9! Do you obey such recommendations?

There are two recommended pressures, the "default" normal load and a light load. Being mostly by myself in the car and not carrying much cargo, rock sliders/winches/skid plates (yet) or pulling heavy trailers, I went with the light load pressure, which makes the ride a lot smoother and more comfy. You can actually set the TPMS for light load monitoring in the settings here in the US - not sure if that's true in every market. 2020 NAS Defender 110 HSE 5-seater / Silver / Khaki / Black Pack / Black Roof / Satin Film / Cold Pack / Off-Road Pack / Advanced OR Pack / Comfort + Convenience Pack / Sirius + HD radio / HUD / Meridian Surround

Actually pressure figures I mentioned are for light loads. I’m afraid to guess, what would be pressure for default load

i'm glad this thread came about. i never realized there were 2 load recommendations. i've been on the 47/50 psi setting since day 1. i just went out and lowered to 36/39 and will see how it rides. not that i had any particular issues or concerns at 47/50. although when i saw those numbers on the door sticker i was a little shocked. never owned a vehicle with such high values.

I queried why the spare needed to be at 50psi with Customer Relations......... answer.... “because the engineers say so”

In the recent cold weather my spare has flagged a low pressure warning when starting up (my car lives outside year round) and warns me that it is at 42psi. I move the car 4m down the drive and the tyre sudddnly re-inflates to 50psi all on its own and the warning icon on the dash disappears! Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

My software was updated 28.01 with no change to this matter. So it’s definitely LR intention to choose such figures for tyre pressure

Quite normal tyre pressure for a vehicle of that size and weight. My previous car has been recommended to be at 3.3 to 3.5 bar with high load. Running my New Defender on 3.2 bar.
