I stick 32psi front and rear. I find that this gives the best ride and road handling on my 90.

I run my 2.4puma 90HT at 30psi all round for road use. Unladen and not towing, I find it makes for a more comfortable ride. Ride like you stole it!!
If I’m not on a bike it’s because only a 4x4 will do…

My daughter regularly tows a four wheel horse box. So I suppose 35psi for the rear tyres should be O.K. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

2015 Defender 90 XS Puma tyre pressures
I have recently replaced my original Goodyear Wrangler all terrain MTR tyres with BF Goodrich all terrain of the same size 235 85 16R. Whilst I have noticed a big improvement on most road surfaces, it feels like the vehicle is rolling and swaying a lot on country lanes etc. and not riding as flat if that makes sense. Maybe it’s just in my head. Or perhaps the tyre compound being a new softer tyre makes it feel like this. The tyre pressures I have set them at are at 2.1 bar on the fronts, and 2.6 on the rears. In accordance with the plaque on the drivers door pillar. Does anyone suggest using different?
