My handbook says 28 lb/in2 front, 38 lb/in2 rear
On or around Tue, 28 Sep 2004 19:23:05 +0100, Steve Poulson enlightened us thusly:
's wrong, mind, for most use, IME.
for mostly-on-road, I'd go for 36 all round. 28 front is definitely on the soft side with a diesel, and unless you habitually carry a fair amount of weight, 38 may be a tad on the high side at the rear. if you run light most of the time, I'd expect slightly too much tyre wear in the centre.
I run mine on 235/70s at 36 all round, and also ran 205s on a 300 TDi at that.
it makes the ride a tad harsher on small sharp bumps, admittedly, but the tyre wear patterns are more sensible.
Many thanks gents!!
I've run 28 front, 38 rear as per the owner's manual on three Rangies ('83, 86 V8 classics) and the same on my current P38A.
I've had excellent tyre wear from all three cars with Michelin tyres and no problems with ride or handling.
