Why is my Discovery sluggish after a desert drive?

[ejaat]

After a session of desert driving i have felt the tires are very sluggish and they are not punctured.

then why?

[CelticNomad]

What is the tyre pressure when you get back to the Tarmac?

[nutbolt]

Drive on sand at 12 -15 psi and road on 30 psi, and never forget to inflate on road as at high speed with low pressure tire may burst or cut the sidewall.

Would agree with nut bolt there, found 12 psi best in the sand with a Disco, but I run 35 around town in the summer and drop to 30 in the winter due to the tyres being harder

whar about front and back , do you use same pressure or lower the front as it says in manual

I think recommended values are front 26 rear 36

[nutbolt]

All four same pressure, no problem. Slight difference mention in Owners Manual is because of load variation. And i bet it can have difference of 10 psi.

Usually it mention difference of 2 -3 psi (32 - 35). Which in real life people square it off.

I was using 26-34 and after stucking in the sand for half an hour I had to deflate my tires

and then I inflated them to 30-34 it seems far better than 26-34 setup

[nutbolt]

For sand keep it 15 psi, you will love it.

Small typo above: And i bet it can't have difference of 10 psi.

I use the same pressure on all four corners. That said I old disco had a heavy duty steel bumper and winch so I did run slightly higher in that one
