machos tyre pressures
gav:
can someone tell me what tyre pressures 235/85x16 macho tyres should be please?
hobbit:
You can check the tyres they should give you a max pressure info on them
glaggs:
? depends on what you want them to do, what weight they are carrying and what conditions you are using them in. Also on what vehicle? Basically its the volume of air that supports the vehicles weight, not the pressure. Therefore if the tyres are larger than standard you will be able to run lower pressures. Off road especially in mud or wet conditions lower pressures work better. General rule of thumb for off road work the tyre side wall hight where it is in contact with the road should be approx 75% of the height when not compressed by the vehicles weight.
gav:
its on 5 door disco 200tdi for running on the road- will let the tyres down when offroad
Range Rover Blues:
About 28 and 33 I'd say. I found my Machos quite stiff compared to BFG, then I found out a lot of remoulds are built on truck tyres, not 4x4 tyres.
