High or low pressure on gravel roads
Dear all
I am working in the northern part of Ghana, where we mostly drive on gravel roads. We are driving a Toyota Landcruiser (HZJ 105 L).
My problem is that I'm unsure what pressure to run in the tires. The tire size is 235/85 R16 (Bridgestone A/T) and the manual states 2,6bar (38psi) in front and 3,75bar (54psi) in the rear tyres.
The Ghanians keep telling me that the nature of their roads means you need to run low pressure, and I keep insisting that low pressure is for sand, and that on the hard gravel roads here you should follow the manual. However I am now starting to doubt whether I'm right.
Is there anyone out there who can help me?
Thank you very much in advance
Thor
