Not sure what to advise really...I had a Shogun which had stickers saying 45psi on the windows and when I enquired of the previous owner, she said she got them from the tyre suppliers. They were BF Goodrich 31.10x50x15's (I think) and I never had probs with running at about 42 psi for the next 8 yrs.

I think my Paj's at the moment are 265 70 16's and they are set at 40 psi.

A while ago during a debate on pressures, most members opted for 28 to 30 psi I believe.

All I can suggest is you run at between 30 and 40 and see how it goes, watching out for uneven wear etc.

hi there,

In my Pajero Handbook it say tyre pressure as follow:

Front wheels: 25.2 psi
Rear wheels: 28 psi

It is for 265/70 r16 112h size but i think it wont be big different for your's 275/70 r16.

265/70R15 26 28
265/70R16 26 28

All figures are in psi.

Shouldn't the tyre pressure be different in Winter/summer!!???

Thanks, you gents are very quick , next question is in the hand book it tells you to service every three months or 5000 km if you have a turbo device [ page 299] but the hand book does not contain this schedule period only 1500km and 10000km which would you recomend thanks

30 psi is what i put in mine alround.

markyd · Guest

Trig,

You could be right, I have taken the tyre info from the sticker inside of the door. I did check this with the Autodata manual and it does confirm the pressures stated. Although nothing was stated about summer/winter driving?

Tin man

change the oil+ filter every 5000kms or 3000miles regardless.

Hope this helps

Markyd, the reason I asked is that I noticed the tyres on my Pajero look as if they need more air lately... actually since the temp. dropped (about 7C now!!!)... I usually put 30 psi ... but it seems that cold weather "shrinks" the air inside and may be 34 in winter is more suitable Confused
