I've never gone fast enough in my disco to worry about push. I keep them all at 55psi... But I get your point!
the ass end of your DI is much heavier than the front. In DII's there is an 18psi differential FWIW.

just be careful. understeer is what rover wanted. oversteer is alot more exciting but not in a disco.

55 PSI ?? Is your Disco heavily loaded or do you just like a very firm ride?
Ok, maybe the type of tyres require these pressure levels...
just wondering because I pump them to 32 PSI and works quite well (Good year Wrangler ATR 245/70 16)

you better not be using what is listed on the tire sidewall...... that is MAX pressure, as in fully loaded on a hiway.... read the book or look on the drivers door/door jamb

I had same question bothering me. What PSI. I have 245/75x16 and max PSI on tire's is 44PSI.
90% of all off rode is on a hard prery type land.
I have now 38 PSI front and back.

Rear end is heavier.
As for tire pressure, I go by what the side of the door generally says give or take a few pounds depending on the brand of the tire. The other way to determine is do a chalk test on your tires.

You ain't in a disco Phillip. The D90 I can see. The Hunter I can maybe see, but a disco is ass heavy hence the differential. In my DII with 34" swampers I run 50 in the back and 35 in the front. Works like a charm. Of course I run about 8 off road
Hey, Sorry to bring back an old thread, I've been doing a lot of searching on tire wear lately. And there's something that bugging me...
How is the ass end of a Discovery heavier than the front end with the engine in it? Even with a full tank of gas my 98 d1 has only an extra 184 lbs. in the back. (23 gallon tank 8 lbs per gallon)
Help me understand!

I run 36lbs all around after a chalk test on mine. Tire pressure may vary based on manufactor and what the tire is designed for. Kind of like shoes. I wear 11.5 in New Balance, but 13 in Salomon.
And if you want to know what the weight distribution is on your Rover, next time you pass a truck stop or weight station that is not busy, stop in and weigh in.
