Yokohama Geolander AT/S Tyres

[the silver surfer]

Evening guys n gals,

I have just replaced my GT Radials AT, which I was very happy with, for a set of Yokohama Geolander AT/S 265/75/16 and wondered if anyone had recommendations on the pressure I should use. The shop put 45psi in, which I thought was well high, but according to a U.S page I found they should be at 65psi!!!!
I have always run my other cars and tyres at around 30/32 front 32/34 rear and that's served me well I guess. But I don't want to under-inflate if they do indeed need to be at 45+

I'd also say that so far so good with the Yokos, good road grip and quiet, good traction on lose stones, gravel & sand and very responsive.

All suggestions welcome!

45psi sounds very high but I don't know the tyres.
I run my GG AT 275/70/16 tyres at 32psi all round. They wear evenly and the truck handles well. I would have thought that 45psi would make the centre of the tread wear quickly.

I agree, it does sound very high. I've never known a road car to have that kind of psi, but who knows, times change!

I think I will drop down though to 32 - 35 as it's always served me well, but if anyone else knows better for these tyres then don't be shy

Google the 4PSI rule.

Cheers, will give that a go.

I've had Yokohama Geolander's on mine for a few years now and all ways run at around 33psi, they say on the tyre 51psi maximum pressure.

Going to give the 4psi jobbie a go, but on the whole 30/32 or 32/34 has served me well over the years. I normally put a little more in the rear as my motor's always full of crap!

I run mine at 40psi and get about 30mpg on the motorway, which is good imho as I am making "Good progress" in the early mornings. Never had any issues with uneven wear. Have run this pressure in Grabbers, Nokians and Michelins, all 265/70/16.

I don't know if the psi makes any difference on tyre size? When I transferred my Surf to Spanish plates I had to get a vehicle inspection done beforehand, so I put 265/75/16 on to help with the rough terrain where I live. I would imagine that psi is psi, so tyre size is irrelevant. Could be well and truly wrong though!

[Baldrick]

What does it say on the tyre itself.

[the silver surfer]

No PSI relative to daily driving, only max PSI pressure test, 65PSI on my size.

I've got a set of Geolanders on my 3rd gen and have run them at 32-35 all round for about 3 years now with perfectly even wear across all of the tyres.
Very good tyre in my opinion, quite, not too expensive, last well, grip well and of course look good!
