    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.

    285/75/16 mud terrain: highway 40psi, graded track 30psi, soft sand 14 to 16psi. I run lower than most but have never bogged at those pressures on a loaded truck.

    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.
