good tire pressure

When I worked for Buick we had to set tires at specs on the door for "ride " but in reality I always find it better to go wit what the tire says so you are not over or under on PSI which causes handling problems and pre mature tire wear, I am not factoring in air down for off roading just handling for onroad, ymmv.

Definitely feels more responsive and smooth at the 40 psi all around for the 245/75R16 BFG T/A KO's

I have no clue what the 6k lbs is.
I just posted the specs on weight.

Thanks, Tom, for the GVWR info. I'm not great with acronyms. I actually had to check what you meant by IIRC. Thought it might be a technical term that I should learn. LOL
The acronym that I always remember from my father is "SNAFU", very important to understand!
I'll check my manuals and see if the curb weight or GVWR is listed for my 1997 SE7. I always estimated curb weight to be about 4500 lbs, but it's probably good to know for sure.
It's kind of like I've always appreciated the height measurements listed on the sun visor. There have been many times that I've pulled that visor down quickly and needed to do a fast mathematical conversion before pulling into a very low clearance underground parking garage. It just adds some extra fun parking in the big cities...

If you run that in an empty vehicle you'll definitely have premature tire wear (bald strip down the center and good tread on the shoulders) not to mention being very unsafe.
Of course, if someone is running the wrong tires, like P rated rather than LT, then yeah, an empty Rover might max out the tires so they need to be inflated to the max.
Both the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Gross Axle Weight Ratings are on the door sticker.
Kerb weight is going to be within a few kg between all stock NAS spec Disco years.
