Tyre pressure guide for UAE terrain ; share your numbers

Seen massive variation in what people run across different terrain types here. Starting a community data thread ; please share your pressure settings with your tyre size and terrain type. I will update this post as we collect more data. Especially interested in summer versus winter figures and dune type differences.

265/70/17 all-terrain: highway 36psi, graded track 28psi, soft dunes 16 to 18psi, compacted dunes 20 to 22psi. Starting points only ; adjust for load and truck weight.

Important UAE note: heat soak builds tyre pressure fast. Air down at 7am in winter and you are fine. In summer the pressure build can be 4 to 5psi in an hour. Check regularly and adjust.

Never go below 12psi on standard AT tyres without bead locks. Risk of debeading is real. Changing a tyre in the Liwa heat is genuinely dangerous ; take it seriously.
