tyre pressures - a stupid question no doubt
Discussion
Just getting the hang of all the various bits and pieces on the Rangie.
I noticed that teh dealer / previous owner had the tyres pumped to (what i think) is a rather high pressure of 40PSI front and back.
Not being particularly familiar with these sort of vehicules (i would run tyres in a regular saloon or sports car at 28 - 32 PSI) what pressure do you run yours at.
The manual says 28 - 30 front and 38 - 40 back, but this sounds a little odd to me.
What does the Pistonheads 4x4 enclave say is best for normal road use??
Still loving it
furthest offroad so far - the cobblestones in Wapping
(or perhaps driving through Brixton last night could be concidered driving in hostile environment)

My Disco says 28F 38R for normal on-road use.
