Pressure in 265 75 16
I’ve Just put BFG 265 75 16 KO2’s on my 90 SW. what pressures are people running. The tyre fitter said that over 30 in the rears is too much for unload driving. So I’ve currently got 30psi all round and it seems ok. Just wondered what other folks had tried?

I think I used to have 28/30 F/R in my old 90 with that size on alloys. I usually have 28/34 when I have the 265s on my 110, and a bit less for the bigger tyres when those are fitted.
