80 series 285/75/16 tyre pressure?

[Michael80]

Just a query, what pressures do you run if using BFG ko2 a/t @ 275/75/16?
I have just checked mine and I thought they where ok but on checking were 25psi?
I have put 30psi in all of them and it has just done 200miles with the caravan and can hardly notice any difference.

mine is pretty heavy, I run 34psi front, 36psi rear, and when we tow the van 45psi rear. If you know tour weights and tyre specs this may help Tyre Pressure Calculator - Welcome To G&S Chassis - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Generally on the 80 when loaded up with RTT and camping gear I run 34F 36R on 285/75/16 BFG AT's or Cooper ST Maxx.

Thank you for your input, I don’t have a RTT or too much weight on board apart from the family.
The caravan is a twin axled van and I load the clothes etc over the axles.
I will run them at 30 psi and keep an eye on them.
I don’t want to ruin them do to running the wrong pressures, my work Hulu’s has done 56k on a set and they have been faultless but now need replacing but have nearly doubled in price!!!

Running them under pressure won't do them any favours, from uneven wear to getting hot.

33F/35R on 285/75-16. (Falken AT3W)

Not a daily, so an uneven wear pattern is slow in coming.
No roar thus far after about 3 yrs and 10kmi and one rotation.
Wear looks even.

I have 32psi all round, I have the back seats removed and I don't tow anything. I get good even wear on all tyres, I used to do a lot more miles and it was the same then.

When on road lightly loaded I am at 30, when fully loaded (3000 kg) and off road I run nearer 40.

Unless you are way over on the caravan nose weight the tyre pressures shouldn't be far from stock.
