Could anybody advise what tyre pressures I should be running on for
Goodyear Wrangler MT/R LT 235/85 R16 for my LandRover Defender 90 for road use
Goodyear themselves will not advise due to health and safety

Thanks

What sort of driving will you be doing? And is it a hard top, pickup, etc? Will you be towing or hauling anything?

Probably won't go wrong with 28psi all round and go from there. Off road you can drop as low as 15psi safely, although you'll want more like 21psi if you plan to use it on the road too.

Or for pure road use and reducing rolling resistance as high as 40psi all round.

You can also alter the handling balance by running lower or higher pressures front to rear. But this is more of a personal thing.
