235/85/R16 pressure
Hi I have conti cross contacts AT on my 110 utility what would you say the correct pressure should be ? I do carry a fair bit on weight in it + I have a heavy duty full 10'6" roof rack
Cheers

Manual says fronts are always 30psi irrespective of loading - that works fine for me Thumbs Up

Manual says Rears should be 48psi (normal loads) and 65psi (fully laden)

If you do that you'll have no fillings left Whistle

I use 40 psi in the rears normally...would increase that if I was carrying heavy loads for long distances. Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

You can get a pice of chalk, mark across tyre, drive half a mile and see where it wearing and inflate/deflate to adjust. This gives optimum pressure for your weight.

Obviously doesn't work when it's raining! Wink Wink Wink

Yep 30 at the front and 40-42 ish at the back. 48 seems crazy. After 24k kms the wear on my back tyres is even. In fact they've hardly worn at all. Smile
