Re: Tyre pressure in AT tyres
Ok. I tryed the calkulator, but it seems I'm doing something wrong
I get 26psi in the front and 36psi in the rear, seems a bit low to me?
If anyone could figure it out for me that would be great. Tyres are rated 41psi and 1030kg, going on a doka syncro...

Re: Tyre pressure in AT tyres
Check the tyre. You may find a different figure
