BogMonster Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 You won't find an official pressure for that size as they were never fitted by LR. If it were me I'd start with somewhere around 28 in the front and 34 in the rear and experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niamh Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I use 30 all round Niamh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmagnet Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 i use 40 all round as i have found these tyres are very bad for sealing around the rims if i run at 30 which i like to while laning then the next day they are flat, i have tried bead sealant but the sidewalls of these tyres just seem weak if i run at 40 i have no deflating issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niamh Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Probably down the the tyres your running not the size. Niamh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzilla84 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Can't comment on insa turbos but I run the same size BFG A/T at around 40psi all round. 30psi was quite unstable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlechorus Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Running my BFG KMs the same size and pattern but not a remould I normally run 32 front to 36 rear adding around 4/5 PSI for a long motorway run and then taking a bit off when off road i.e. to the mid 20s. Having said this I found my front left at 18psi yesterday which I thought was a puncture and it hasnt relost pressure and its been checked out by the garage. Obviously not as fussy as I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very good on the road. Some less so. 10psi off road will run the risk of tyre coming off the bead. For competition use RTV vehicles can run min of 21psi and CCV down to 12psi.

Start with the factory pressures for a Disco then alter from there based on how it drives and rides. if you are hauling heavy loads or towing you’ll want higher than normal pressures in the back. If the vehicle is kept light with only 1-2 people in, then you can run lower. what tyres do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 If you want to check the pressures are really at the right level there's always this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonimouse Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I run 235/85x16's on my disco (albeit Falken Wildpeake MT1's) I chalk tested them when I first fitted them and have ended up at 30 F and 32 rear for general driving. Fully loaded or towing heavy, I run the rears at 38 Interestingly, I have dropped off road pressures to 16 and not lost a bead. I run standard Disco steel rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
