Handbook states 30psi front/48psi rear for my 110, but I find 28psi front/38psi rear greatly improves ride quality. No uneven wear/other issues after 15kkm.

you must remember the bigger the tyre the less PSI you need

BF goodrich should be able to recommend tyre pressures for you if you give them the axle weights. They should also be able to give you pressures for off road work at lower speeds and maximum flotation.

Do that as its NOT the same as the LR book figure and tyre fitters dont always know/care

The disco pressures from bfg were different - significantly Mike

Don't forget that weight makes a lot off difference.
I use the same BFG MT's first under my Camel Disco 2500 KG and now under my 90 TD5. Off road I let them down to 1.3 bar. With my Camel they were really soft specially if I had to drive a small length on the road. With my 90 I think I have to defalte them further as they didn't feel soft on the road for about 1 km to get to the petrol station to inflate them again. Roel

1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009)
2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts.
