What models have 28/38 recommended tyre pressures? My 07 110 Puma SW say 30 Front and something 48 rear for light load use. The ride is like concrete at that, why does my model have such high recommended pressures? 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I have one of these stickers attached to the drivers inside door. Though 65psi for rear towing I have never gone for.
 For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Not sure where those figures originate but they don't match my handbook or Gilarion's sticker. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

34 psi all round for me. I carry a load, but not that much.

32 psi all round for me. 20-ish if it's getting proper muddy.
Mine has a cage fitted so has another 150Kg or so. Feels about right and tyres don't overheat - 7.50 XZLs. |

I stay with what the sticker says. 45 rears normally then 65 when towing this beast of a trailer.

I run my 110 SW summer tyres at the official owners handbook pressures. However currently have my Hakkapiettas fitted. Nokian’s recommendations are different:-

Hi,
I did have some one ten in the past. Then the rr from 1992 to 2012. When I did have the Defender 110 sw model 2012, I was horified with the lack of comfort. I have try other tires, no change. Then somebody did tell me that the damper are different today for security .... I have change the damper with old model, could be not a good idea, but it is more comfortable. Phil current : defender 110 sw 2.2 puma 2012 and 230.000km today and again my Range Rover VM2.5 engine from 1992 and 528.000km today. One ten 1988 to 1992 1987 BMW GS80 One Ten from 1984 to 1987 One Ten from 1983 to 1984 Serie 3 109 from 1980 to 1983 from 1974 Jeep CJ3B and CJ6 |

I have two similar sticker, one stuck in the handbook the other loose . The only time I use the higher pressure is when towing the caravan and when it comes out from M.O.T. and services as the garage insist on put the rears up to 65psi. The one's quoted by the O.P. seem dangerous and could lead to prosecution if checked by either police of VOSA. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

My 110 double cab is on 255/85 KM2s, has a Husky on the front, and routinely runs at around 2750kg. I run the fronts at 38psi and rears at 48psi on the road, and have found that this produces perfectly even wear across the tread.
A 110 commercial (ie HT or DC) will always have a harsher ride than an SW due to the different springing and vehicle weights. The OP could always put a couple of paving slabs in the back! |

Just spoken to my dealer I bought it off who has said the suspension set up is the same for the Station Wagon or the standard commercial which mine is. So I’m just going to let the tyres down a wee bit to maybe 26 front and 32 rears. See if that improves it a bit. It’s not a major issue but I do have quite a few bumpy roads near me

Smiles, whilst your proposed reduced tyre pressures may make the ride feel softer, you are actually compromising tyre integrity by running them under inflated. There’s obviously a cost involved but the better way to soften the harshness, is a “tuned” spring/shock set-up. |
