Newbie has just aquired a 2005 Prado which currently has Bridgestone Dueler A/T 225/70R17 on the fronts and Michelin XGreen Energy 235/65R17 on the rear.
Any advice regarding what tyre pressure to use:
1) day to day
2) on sand
3) on mud
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

first things first get the same size tyres on all four wheels. May not be much of a difference in size but being a constant 4WD it could very well affect the life of the diffs.
as for pressures
day to day - 36
sand and mud- no lower than around 18, but 22 should be plenty low enough unless it is really soft

Thanks for that.
Next question, replace the Bridgestone or the Michelin?

As mentioned before get the same size on all 4 corners and the best thing to do would be to pissoff the 17's and get some 16's and run a 265/75/16 or there abouts ...
As for pressure when ya get some real size tyre's run 14-16 PSI on the sand 18-20 PSI in the mud and 36-40 PSI on the road ...
