My Question is i have new Cooper AT3's is 265 70 17 What air pressure do others run in there tyres ? On road / off road.
+ I think my tray has moved a few cm closer to the back of the cab as the canopy now rubs on the back window, Can anyone tell me how to move it back. Presuming there is 4 bolts or so & it should slide back.
Lets hope the bigger tyres don't hurt the fuel figures too much.
Cheers Matthew

44psi on road 16psi offroad (low range) or around 20-24psi if only doing high range.
On road pressure is a little bumpy but I have found it gives good tyre life and feel for me.
Most guys on here are around 36psi on road and 16-20psi offroad.

thanks for the info there fridgie.. getting some bighorns fitted next week.. will try those figures. might experiment with the on road pressures a bit though.. sound a little high to me, and might be a bit 'bumpy' as you said.. especially as most of the time i don't carry much weight around town. going away is a different story of course.
got until next wed (fitment day) to decide which bighorn i want... 762 or 764... hmmm.... arghhh.... decisions decisions..

I'd say there is a bit less then half tread depth left when comparing to the un-used spare. both the fronts have flogged out on the inside only and have worn small flat spots. Is this type of wear from incorrect pressure or just alinement?

highway: 38psi cold f & r, always have 200kgish minimum in the tub, plus canopy, f & r bars and roof racks
sand: 15psi starting point. Its soft on the local beaches, have run as low as 8psi to get through previously, 12 to 15 works well with little strain on the vehicle
dirt: 25-28psi seems to work, giving good grip over rocky or clay ground, good ride over rough track and allowing plenty of flex in the tyre over sticks, rocks or anything else to cause damage. Haven't done much mud work...

Could be pressure related. Could also be your suspension is shot? 94k on stock suspension could be a record on this site! My new Maxxis bighorns started to do that when I added a bullbar and winch to front of car. Will be keeping a close eye on them now I've upgraded suspension.
