Re: tyre pressure
i run 28 front and back, suits me and my driving
Re: tyre pressure
thanks, I was told 35psi which i thought was a bit high.
Re: tyre pressure
Standard pressures for 5.00/5.20 crossply's was 24 psi. I guess most people run either 28 all round or 28/26psi these days. There is no official figure for 155's because they were never factory fitted, so, just experiment around 24 - 30 psi untill you find a setting that suits your comfort/driving style requirements. 35psi is definately way too high though.....

Re: tyre pressure
I use 30/32 psi normally, but do put them up to ~ 36 front and 40 rear if carrying a load.

Re: tyre pressure
I've been experimenting a bit, now the snow has gone at long last, and similar to Roy I find a 2psi differential front to back improves things a little I've settled for 28F/30R on really quite narrow treaded Toyo 155s. The difference in the actual contact patch width when compared to the previous Nankings was quite striking given they were the same size tyre

Re: tyre pressure
I have been running 155x14s at 24psi all round but I think that the sidewalls have too much flex so when the MM is back on the road I am going to try increasing the pressures a bit.
30psi was about right on my Traveller on 175x13s with two engines, a tool box and other bits and pieces in the back.

Re: tyre pressure
Do both engines drive one axle? or have you got the facility of splitting the drive front/rear?

Re: tyre pressure
All right then, three engines, one in the front doing the work and two spares in the back going for a ride

Re: tyre pressure
Did you mean 'two engines in the back to maintain traction'?
