From the Staun site, 50 spi. http://www.staunproducts.com/ST7590%20page2.pdf

We have run ours at 40psi, with no problems. They must be higher than the tyre pressure, so if you put the tyre to 44psi you must set the staun above 44psi.

We normally max the tyre pressure at 30psi, so 40 psi in the staun is not a problem.

I run mine at 45psi and tyres at anywhere between 8psi and 35psi. I was told to run then at 46psi by the ARB shop i got them from but 45psi is easier to read on the gauge! :)

Go with 45-50 PSI as stated by Staun in their website. I reckon they are the ones who DO know, rather than being "told" by anyone.

4-5 PSI above tyre pressure was the old and outdated recommendation given initially when I bought them as "Secondairs" but later changed on discussion with the old distributors (at 4WD shows etc). This was also the initial reason Secondairs got a bad rap as not working that well.

FWIW 45-50 psi for the last 5 4 1/2 yrs without issue. Hve aired down to 8 psi at times but generally use 14-16 psi in a 1700kg vehicle with 31 x 10.5R15 tyres
