Default All Terrain Tire Daily Driving Tire Pressure

wondering what everyone runs for daily driving. I have K02’s and i believe my installer said they were set at around 50. Never checked them and they are much lower now in the high 30’s.

not sure if i notice any difference. Can’t seem to find the right pressure anywhere online.

running 275/55/20

Is the tire pressure not listed on the door jam?

1. Enable light load in settings
2. Run at 35-37 psi
enjoy!

I run my BFG’s at 37/34 on a daily basis - no issues and no excess wear in any particular areas of the tyre 👍🏼

JLR really put shockingly diverse load ranges on this vehicle. Maybe that's normal for JLR, I can't say as this is our first and professionally I've not worked with many of their vehicles. But it is FAR from the norm in the industry.

That said IF one is concerned about tire pressure and whether they are suitable for the specific vehicle and conditions one must simply watch the pressures (and the TPMS system on many modern vehicles makes this easy).

Simply watch the overnight cold pressure when you first start it, and check again after 10-20 minutes of driving for the hot pressure.

If the cold pressure was appropriate for conditions, then hot will increase ~10-15%.

If the increase is much less than that, pressures are too high for conditions.

If the increase is much more than that, pressure are too low for conditions.

At least this is the way tire engineers normally advise to adjust pressures.

This. I have played with a bunch of ranges over the 2 years I've owned my 110 and this is the ideal range with light load. Note if you run near 50psi, in snow you will regret it!

Skip ahead to Page 13 if you want the "easy" numbers. Note that this is mainly for Nitto's but I suspect may work well for other brands: Link.

My 110 w/ 18" steelies and offroad tires came aired up to 49F/51R.

Any guidance/suggestions for:
  1. 1-2 passengers and no cargo
  2. 1-2 passengers and 300lb of cargo (roadtrip luggage)
Thanks!

@TheJMG - You're going to need more data. What tires do you have (size)? Which 110 do you have? Or better yet, what's the GVWR? What's the placard on your door jam say? With that someone can give you a better wag. Good luck.
