I just purchased four new Dunlop Radial Rover A/T tires for my '97 Disco. I stayed with the original tire size (235/70r16)and have several questions to ask.

a. Should I stay with the Land Rovers recommended tire pressure (28psi front / 38psi rear)

b. Where I purchased my tires they told me to go 34psi in all tires and so did my alignment shop.

Any help would surly be appreciated!!

Thanks!!!

Keep the 6-10psi differential between front and rear.

What is the benefit of the 6-10psi differential?

There's also some handling issues w/ 34psi x4. When I put new tires on my Disco they set them all to 34 (tire's "max" pressure). I had some vibration and other minor handling issues. I found a thread on this site about the pressure issue and after lowering the pressure in my front tires the probs went away.
