Tyre Pressures for dirt roads.

[McGirr]

Had a chance today to drop tyre pressures to 26 front and 28 rear. Will see how it goes otherwise may drop a little lower.

Thanks for the replies.

How does the Tyre profile effect the psi? Given that a low profile tyre only has limited sidewalls, should you still drop the pressure?

Hi Mark,

We ran 24 all round for our time out there.
You should have a much softer ride by dropping your pressures by 10psi.
But the roads in WA are so much nicer than the NT and SA

It's been good to see that Warbuton is treating you well

Here's a handy little sheet I picked up from from the pink roadhouse years ago, which gives some rough tyre pressure guides for various vehicles/conditions.

As we are always around dirt up here I leave mine at 20psi front and 24psi rear. That works best for me up Cape Leveque road as it is quite strait those pressures work well. I think people are to hang up on the 4 PSI rule as as mentioned it works for the black top but no really the dirt. Every Tyre brand is a little different but all of them are able to run at low pressures so using them to soften the corrugations is a must.

Way too many variables to give an accurate answer...
