How to select the correct tyre pressure | 4X4 Australia

Simple, common sensed explained presentation

Instead of quoting pressures for different terrains, I much prefer percentages of road pressures. So when you say 50% of road pressure as a starting place for sand, that works just as well for a 70 series on skinnies that might have a road pressure of 60psi or a Jimmy with a road pressure of 22 psi. There's also front to rear pressures, which to equalise the ground pressure front to back, you'll need to vary the pressures in the back, especially if the load varies a lot, like a ute.

Great video and great information. It always amazes me that Australia adopted the metric system in July 1974 and people still use PSI, instead of the metric KPA. I actually use KPA, as you can apply more precise tyre pressures.

Last 5 years up Vic High Country I have always lowered mine down 20 psi and forget it , I find that has been the best ... That was on Cooper ST Maxx , never got a puncher and got over 80k out of tyres. Actually kept tyres and run them just on the tarmac , I reckon ill get another 12 months or more out of them. Just swap my new rims and AT's when going off road now...

I drive my V6 Prado 150 at 10 front and 9 rear in desert. Got beadlock wheels. Drives amazing

Cheers for the video legend. Going on a trip to k’gari island next month.

That was simple and comprehensive. Cheers 🍻

do you have any suggestions for tyre pressure on vans, off the sealed roads, that have 'light truck' load rated road tread tyres fitted? their 'normal' pressure could be approx 42 psi - 47 psi.

[@mackplatts9397]

16psi is low for sand? 😂 you’re joking, videos like this is why so many get bogged.. don’t be afraid people 10psi is the magic number!

[@DepletedMan]

5 psi is right too

[@ramboexcess4469]

Whats the minimum safest pressure for corrugations?

[@Ted...youtubee]

Does tyre pressure depend on rim size? 17,18,20". As a newbie, @s i understand, 16psi on a 20" rim could lead to issues. Am i wrong.?

[@markphillips4878]

Most 4 x 4’s in Australia Europe and uk run on 16” wheels I run on 285/75/16

You didn’t cover Snow Driving; what pressures are recommended there?

[@sb-fj4er]

Don’t think they get a great deal of snow down under !

[@stuartferguson7947]

@@sb-fj4er I’m “Down Under” and we see some in the region I’m in, even in February (summer) but definitely not where Ronny is in the West

[@markphillips4878]

Treat snow the same as mud

You are also not doing the 'right thing' for the environment and your fellow travellers (wrecking the tracks) by being overinflated.
