So, did they specify particular situations and pressures?

I think it was seeing a compressor that prompted me to ask the question :)

LandRoger:
yes they did give pressures for different terrains - i will find hand book and uploadit for you , as a rule of thumb  18-20 psi on slippery climbs muddy runs, and the effect is really noticeable and pleasing , as you get further with less effort  ,12-15psi on rocks and sand  because you are only crawling allong you can keep your diffs aimed off line of rocks obstacles etc ,at these low pressures tyres rolling of rims , and self-deflation of tyre can be a problem  hope this helps. by the way its possible to buy smart little tyre air downs that you can set at desired presh just screw on and have a cuppa as they do the work  11 pounds for 4 .
