What is the best tyre pressure to use off road

Hi

I have a disco 1 3.5 v8 running BFG mud terrain tyres, what tyre pressures do you guys use when off roading.

I went to billing the other week and struggled making one of the hills, when I checked the tyre pressures the fronts were at 36psi could this be the problem ?

Personally I'd start high until I got stuck and then let some air out, to about 25psi, and then further if I needed to.

i didnt know thier course was open all year around. i thought it was a 1 off special course for the big show.

as per psi i always run at 32psi ish as i have noway of reinflating them to get back home again!

Bulli:
wow, im not saying this is right but i normally run 26/28

i rarely air down unless its a hard day and then i drop to around 18psi.

When i do rock crawling or something of that ilk i drop to 12/14...not too suitable for laning as they dont like going fast at that pressure.....

1st off all, thanks for a great weekend bulli  :lol:

tyre wise, when offroad, id run your tyres for normal cond's at 22psi, but if it was real soft ground id drop down to 18psi.....16 at a push

at weekend i started at 18psi and ended up down at 13 but had to be real carefull in some places expecialy on the rock punches
