anyone care to tell me what the 4psi rule is?
put air in your tyres drive for about an hour or so and then check your pressure again. If it has gone up by over 4psi the pressure is incorrect. Adjust as neccessary until correct. Do it a few times on different trips and you soon know what pressures to run in your tyres for different circumstances.

Perhaps you should explain to us how you optimise your tyre pressures for braking?

I run my 37 MTRs at 40PSI on road and 10 off road (sucks to air back up). Any lower than 40 on road and they squirm around and wear poorly.

With my 305x70x16 BFG muds i run 38psi on road unloaded. If she is loaded up for a weekend away will punch the rear's up to 40psi. when i hit the beach loaded up for instance fraser, i run around 25psi. when i hit soft areas like indian head i air down to around 20 as those rim protectors are a real pita when it comes to leaking air. Once unloaded and running around along the beach go up to around 22-24 psi and dont have a drama.
With the 35x11.5x16 ET2's I ran them on the road twice (now trailer them for obvious reasons) at 30psi. Offroad they come down to around 12-
14psi.
My little Honda Civic i run 36 in the front and 34 in the rear
