As I get ready to tow with the Shogun for the first time, I have to say Im a little bit taken aback by the tyre pressures.
This is the first true 4x4 I have owned, previous has been Volvo XC70 preceeded by two xTrails. When I look at the tyre pressures for this vehicle, I find three sets rather than the standard two and are as follows:
Bar with 5 people up 2.2f and 2.4r
Bar with 7 people or full load 2.4f and 2.8r
Bar towing with AT, 3.2 f and 3.5 rear.
As best as I can convert this into real money it gives in PSI
32f and 34/5 r
34/5f and 40r
these I can live with, but
46f and 50r seems awfully high to me. The non Euro4 engine is substantially lower. Tyres are 265 60 r18.
Just wondering what you experts think about pressures this high. Kerb weight is 2300kg, max load 3000kg, with a towing capacity of 3500kg. I understand these figures are correct, but they seem very high to me.
