Tyre pressure for defender 90 td5 with 235-85-16
Hi guy's, I currently have the standard general tr tyres fitted on my defender 90 csw. What are the correct tyre pressures for 235/85/16 tyres on a 90 (non loaded)?

My manual only gives tyre pressures for a different size tyre for the 90.

Thanks

Hugh

There are a few posts on this subject, try a search Thumbs Up

I run mine on a puma 110 at 30psi front and 35 psi in the rear empty up to 45 psi when towing.

The correct pressures are 28 front and 38 rear but most people find these dont suit.

I run mine at 30 front and 35 rear most of the time changing to 28 front and 32 rear for greenlaning with no load and 30 front and 38 rear for towing long distances.

Pete.

i tried loads of combinations on my 90 with both HD and standard suspension at the rear and with TRs and BFG ATs.

i have am now on the BFGs and with standard rear springs and prefer 30 front and 38 rear, 35 or less is a bit bouncy on the side walls....... Confused BM52
