165 R 15s on the front and Yokohama Super Digger Light Truck 9.50 15s on the rear and 15 pounds all round on a Baja chop top, on the road. Much less
on sand.
Regardless of what vehicle you drive or the size of your wheels and tyres a radial tyre needs a slight bulge at the bottom to run properly and safely.
That's what causes my tyre pressures to be what they are, not anything that could be found in an owner's manual. Most tyre fitters have no idea that
buggies and Bajas need lower pressures if the wheels and tyres are over size from standard.
Run your own tests until the tyres bulge just right and they feel safe in use.
