robhybrid Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 In the quest for more grip I have been playing with tyre pressures. I think this is what works for me unless I have to travel someone elses ruts in which case I would run them higher. What do you think? I know that side slopes and low pressures dont work and I have only locked the outer bead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I dont find side slopes arent a big issue with flat tyres as long as you expect the slump thats gonna happen as the tyre settles - a bit of slowly until its bitten and no probs after that, depending on whats underfoot we range from 0psi to 14psi - occassionally we hit 25psi but not often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I'd say it depends a lot on vehicle (weight) and tyre sidawall stiffness. On my '85 RRC I had the Trelleborg 8.90-16 diagonals for a while. (Volvo 303 standard fitment) They were at best around 0,23-0,30 Bar Tireloc internal beadlock Now with a '89 RRC and michelin XCL 7.50-16 I run 0,5 rear and about 0,75 front for ease of steering. Have softer tires now, with a radial and higher pressure. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
