235/85/R16 pressure

Hi I have conti cross contacts AT on my 110 utility what would you say the correct pressure should be ? I do carry a fair bit on weight in it + I have a heavy duty full 10'6" roof rack
Cheers

Manual says fronts are always 30psi irrespective of loading - that works fine for me

Manual says Rears should be 48psi (normal loads) and 65psi (fully laden)

If you do that you'll have no fillings left

I use 40 psi in the rears normally...would increase that if I was carrying heavy loads for long distances. Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

You can get a pice of chalk, mark across tyre, drive half a mile and see where it wearing and inflate/deflate to adjust. This gives optimum pressure for your weight.

Obviously doesn't work when it's raining!

Yep 30 at the front and 40-42 ish at the back. 48 seems crazy. After 24k kms the wear on my back tyres is even. In fact they've hardly worn at all.

32 Front 38 Rear IIRC that's what mine run at. Perfectly happy with that.
