Worth being aware that the standard snap in rubber tubeless valve is only rated to 65 psi 😉

Thanks, I can't see me needing to be more than 50 to be honest.

So I have put 38 in the front and 50 in the back and it drives fine, I will know more next week when I have my trailer on. I have just had uprated steering tubes fitted, as the track rod end pulled out of the standard tube last week, luckily it was when I pulled in for a pee before getting on the motorway....

I think with luck like that, it's time to get the lotto ticket.

Bloody hell that could have been nasty.

Yeah, it could have been bad, it's freaked me out to be honest. I've got it sorted now with the heavy duty tubes, especially working off road and with the big tyres.

I’d change the track rod ends at the same time (if you haven’t already) to make sure the threads are as good as they possibly can be.

Ouch. What was the effect in your ability to steer when that happened?
