These are the tyres i have fitted at present and have been told they are a good road tyre - does anyone know what tyre pressures i should be running
a) Off-road (onyl have about 5-6mm grip/tread)
b) On road normal highway driving?
Have been told about 20-22psi for Off-road and 30-32psi for highway is this correct-ish?

Sounds OK to me. I put between 32 and 36psi in my tyres for road use. For off road, I let them down till they sag a little.  I don't think you want to go below 15psi, aparently that's the point where it becomes easier for the tyre to come off the rim. Cheers, Graham. |

Ive never heard anything good about adventurer tyres and to make things even worse there are 2 tyres called adventurer One is made in Aussi the other NZ and they are quite differant to each other although both are an AT pattern. Depending on your type of offroad 5 - 6 mm is bare minimum and will let you down on slippery stuff River beds ad rock will be ok though. On road these are quite a wide tyre for the size of the car so aquaplaning can be an issue esspecialy as the tread wears dont go below 3mm before changing them.
On road presure Im running 32 with good wear etc so this is about right. off road the lower you go the further you go but if running tubless 20psi min if tubes 10 min but only in real soggy stuff If you can afford beadlocks then why not 5psi. Do not run over 30kph with less than 20psi in your tyres or they wont last long

Cheers Geeves
Although I have heard from 3 tyre places herelocally that Dunlop Adventurer are a VERY GOOD tyre and have excellent road abilities (although off orad they tend to wear quickly)
I shall inflate tomorrow first chance i get
Thanks to everyone on here too since removing my egr system completely i am now having a diesel flush done on the engine (aka carbon clean) as my internalos will be pretty jammed up
Next I have been told to get a timing done on the injector pump and my tappets reset after carbon clean

They have started to make them again - Aussie ones
So I may invest in another set - very very good wear apparently I can get up to 80000kms from 1 set - my old ones have done 30000kms already and are only just down to 5-6mm!!
