Tyre pressures

Blaven · Jun 13, 2019

Hi,
Being new to this forum I hope I’m posting in the right section.
I have a 110 Utility on which I’ve recently fitted a complete set of BT Goodrich MT tyres. The size is 255/85 R16.
I’m not too sure regarding pressures.
I’m currently driving mainly on tarmac with an unloaded/empty truck. I’m running at 35psi all round (advice of the tyre fitter).
Not sure if this is right/ too high/too little/ should it be higher rear & lower front or what?
Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Pressure sounds about right, if you’re carrying anything heavy you can increase it a little, off road you may want to lower the pressure

Keep any eye on your tyre wear, wear in the centre usually means over inflated while wear on both edges usually means under inflated,

From the manufacture..........
The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 is a tire designed for off-road. It is made so tough that it resists most off-road hazards including bruises and cuts because of its 3-ply construction and sidewall compound. The Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 can overcome most obstacles and hazards. When aired-down the tire will conform and flex to be able to grab obstacles with ease.

The 255/85R16 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 has a diameter of 33.3", a width of 10", mounts on a 16" rim and has 625 revolutions per mile. It weighs 54.4 lbs, has a max load of 3415/3085 lbs, a maximum air pressure of 80 psi, a tread depth of 18/32" and should be used on a rim width of 6.5-8".

@bluebeasty you see 80 psi

Blaven · Jun 18, 2019

Thank you. Giving it a go at 28 front and 32 rear.

Kindly stop being a prat. This is a tech section and there is limited tolerance for repeated bad advice.

I run 285/ 75/16 KM2's on a 90, at 30 all around , seems to handle OK, tyre wear is OK.

Not too bouncy, not too harsh, best MPG figures.
