Danny and Sue Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Morning all.We have just finished our 10 month trip & find there is a lot of confusion regarding tyre pressure on the dirt roads.We did a lot of dirt,Great central,Tanami,Savannaha Way & down through Windorah,Haddon Corner,The dig tree,Innamincka,Tibooburra etc etc.We were lucky enough to get through the lot with no flats.our van is 21ft ATV loaded pretty heavy.wOn the dirt we only ever run 25PSI cold on the van & 30 PSI cold on the ute.We have found this good as long as you are going slow.You don't want to be on the tar long with these pressures though.Also these are cold pressures.Don't drive up the road and drop to these pressures with hot tyres.I find about 28/30 psi hot is a good start point when you hit the dirt.Had a great trip with no damage or breakages apart from a few plastic draw latches. Cheers for Danny & Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondelta Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hi Danny & Sue.That sounds like a great trip. What top speed do you call slow? I run 32 psi cold all around on gravel (heavy 22 foot ATV) and try to stay under 80kph.Cheers Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny and Sue Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Thanks Mick. Yes 80's about as fast as i'd go with those pressures.. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
