Tyre pressures......probably again I know!
« on: January 25, 2011, 09:40:43 PM »
Hi,

285/75/16 BFG AT's. checked them today and all at 55psi. Thought that a bit high. Does anyone know what they should be?

Also. If I take the plunge and enter my 1st event I presume they're fine for TYRO, but will I need mud terrains' for RTV.?

Thanks all.

AT's will take you a long way. Don't splash out untill you need to - or watch here for a cheap set of MTs. 55 psi all round is high all right, particularly at the front. 30 front 40 rear is a good "road" setting unless you are literally carrying a tonne in the back. You can afford to drop them even lower off-road on mud or sand.
If its not broken you are not trying hard enough....

Cheers Gene, sound advice.

How do you go about entering an event anyway, don't see any procedure on the site?
