Goodyear MTR offroad pressures?

I've just bought a set of Staun deflators, which are factory set to 18psi, is this ok for my 33's (on 8" rims), or should I be looking at low 20's?

Finally got sick of running 40lb off road :roll:

Cheers

I've been running my 35" MTR's at 17-18 psi off road............have been fine on a light surf, might pay to stick around 20 on the heavier vehicle

I got some for Xmas - awesome "gadgets" - (not to mention fantastic pressie

)

I set 2 of them at 26psi & 2 at 20 psi - but will have another play and drop 1 pair down to 24 - which was what I ran for the Easter Weekend on the West Coast.

Takes a bit of fiddling to get them set - but once set they are great. :thumright:

Having 2 at each pressure makes it easier if you use 2 x different pressures (ie mud & rock-crawling or sand etc) Just takes 2 x as long as using all 4 to air-down

Been using stauns for two years, great putting them on walk away and have a chat with all the fellas doing it by hand :lol:

Run 18 psi mostly in the safari. Don't go two low pressure with those crappy ( my opinion only) MTR's as you will put rocks through the sidewalls :evil:

. Done it twice now

Are they the new 35's Al?
Thought they were fairly strong in the walls, glad I got the warranty on mine.
Might look at creepies instead when I go up to 35's, just wish I could get five for $1200 like I can with the MTR's :roll:

No the 33's. Still haven't decided on what type/brand of 35's to go for. Looking at, no doing, pulling that Old Man Emu shit out and doing a 75mm lift first. Waiting for a new maxxis tyre to come into the country before I decide, and then there's those silverstones to wait for as well.

Oh and I am told that the next shipment of MTR's into the country ( none available for 2 mths) will be considerably dearer now that they have captured a significant share of the market. They sold out heaps sooner then they thought they would.

I managed to get a quota from Tony's, and since they were out of stock when I went to buy them, they have got it as an open quote so I can get them when I like.
If I don't go for them, I might get a set anyway, as there is bound to be someone that'll want them at that price.

have just got some 2 and also run 33 inch mtrs. have been running 18 and that seems gud on my surf. played in some rocks on the weekend and they griped well (tho i havnt done much rock work before- and no they werent really big rock crawling rocks lol) they comperessed alot when cross axled. wouldnt go any lower than 18 especially on a safari.

In my opinion, good for canterbury rivers and roads only. Also toying with the creepies believe it or not.
