110 Advice please

near enough. If you peer inside, there's a post sticking up which is the water level, but it's near enough half way up as makes no odds.

Try about 34 all round running light, see how it goes, and up the rear pressure to about 38 if carrying weight or transferring weight from the trailer.

that worked OK in similar sized tyres on my 110. Mine were 31x10.5R15, which if you work it out is about the same width.

running the fronts softer will give you a softer ride, but tends to make them wear unevenly, IME.

As Austin says, that is near enough.

If it has not been tarted up I'd expect to find a sticker somewhere giving the tyre pressures - the Utilities are into that sort of thing.

true, but then again, look at how much weight the 'leccy boys carry in 'em. They'll be running the rears at about 48 lb...

Which is correct for high speed and/or high load - I run mine at 48 all the time wich gives very good handling and wear.

horses for courses, innit. I'd expect you to get centre-tread wear at those pressures if running mostly unladen.

Depending partly on what size tyres, too.

Non at all

Doesn't make a whole lot of odds, though that is far to high for a 90.

Slightly OT but what should pressures be for a largely unlaiden 90 on

I tend to run at about 30 to 32 all round, any higher and it corners like its on rails, until it lets go...quickly! Not sure if I am getting outside edge wear on the fronts though, or if it needs tracking up again!

Thanks Jon

I used 30 all round for my 90 on 235's - but they were Michelin OR's, so any pressure couldn't help them.....

Richard

looks as though Im about right then...

thanks jon

My 110 recovery unit runs 31-10.5x15's at 30 front, 45 rear, it weighs 2.5 ton (last time it was weighed about 6 years ago!). Tyre wear is even on all

's what I say, though - you're carrying at least 1/2 ton in the back, hence the need for higher rear pressures. Pressure can also depend on tyre make: I fitted different tyres (Nankangs) and found that the pressure needed upping a few psi - they were quite obviously wearing the fronts on the edges.

so Jon was, like...

I got a set of 238/85 BFG Trac-Edges for my 90 and Nene Valley (suppliers) recommended 26/34. Worked fine for me. Good grip, even wear, no probs.
