Tyre pressures MTR
Hopefully an easy one....... Should I run MTRs at the same pressure as those quoted in the user hand book for road tyres?TONGA GREEN G4 bits and of course DVD for the kids!

Slightly harder 2-3 psi otherwise you'll suffer from uneven wear - so i was told by a when i got my MTR's

Thanks for that will put some more in........can't afford to run them at wrong PSI, chumbucket back to stealer tomorrow to look at alignment and a few more jobs that need sorting......Hartwell Oxford now got 6 05-55 plated D3 in queue waiting for LR to make decision on alignment/geometry issues when will LR wake up to this problem?TONGA GREEN G4 bits and of course DVD for the kids!

Not sure im afraid. Never run them. Was going to get some STT's but then the MTR's came up at a decent price, so went with them instead.
Anybody else run ST's for a long while if so what pressure where you running? DiscoDunc i think has ST's... but i could be wrong.

Pressures are vehicle - specific, not tyre specific, although a 1 - 2 psi adjustment can be made to account for stiffer sidewalls... Tyre pressure is calculated by the vehicle manufacturer to allow for the loading and kerb weight of the vehicle, i've run MT/R's and STT's at standard pressures with no wear issues although offroad pressures are generally lower by 5-10 psi
