Wheels & Tyres

Our wheel and tyre setup, pressures, wear and performance

How we manage tyres on the Y62 across bitumen, dirt and sand — pressures, wear and real-world performance over real kilometres.

Back to 4WD

Correct tyre pressures improve ride comfort, traction, and tyre life across changing terrain. Getting pressures right is one of the simplest ways to look after both the vehicle and the track.

Our Tyres

Falken Wildpeak A/T4W — 285/65R18

The all-terrain tyres we run on our Y62 Patrol while travelling Australia full-time and towing our caravan — quiet on the bitumen, stable while towing and capable on gravel, corrugations, sand and 4WD tracks.

Tyre Pressures

We air down for dirt and sand and back up for the bitumen using our ARB compressor and Pressure Control system. Managing pressure to suit the surface improves comfort, traction and tyre life, and reduces the chance of damage on rough ground.

Automatic Tyre Deflators

We carry both the screw-on Pro Series and the Quick Connect clip-on iCheckTPMS deflators. Set the pressure, attach all four and let them deflate together — they automatically stop at the preset PSI.

Caravan Tyre Pressure Monitoring

We fitted an iCheckTPMS 5-sensor system to our Great Escape caravan to keep an eye on all four caravan tyres plus the spare for live pressure and temperature while towing.
