plenty highway and cattle water pass

Gday
I'd run 35-40 psi on the Plenty highway , only because Im not into farting around with tyre pressures other than dropping them in the sand.
Cattlewater pass is "not recomended for trailers" but you shouldnt have any trouble.

bucky towed his trak sahk through there just taking it easy no worries...even had a subie forrester go throug with us and she was fine....as for tyre pressure...same as the rest of the roads out there.....its only a short amount of km along there into altunga but boy dies it take for ever....a good 3 -4 hrs from memory with 3 cars....

hope this helps....our tyre pressure was about 30 - 35 i think....!

I would keep below 40psi the lower the pressure the more inclination of the tire moulding around rocks when travelling over them rather than a tight tire having to bump up over the rock or the rock piercing through the tire instead(when fully loaded and ct on i have never put more than 35psi)i don't know if i explained it very well??

Cattlewater pass is OK if going south from the Plenty Highway. If going north from Arltunga there is a short steep section with some big rocks that requires care. We had to snatch a smallish SUV towing a CT off there last year.

ok thanks everyone, cattle water pass sounds easy enough with the camper, i was more worried about the width, its at least 300mm wider than the prado, think i'll run about 30psi on the tyres although i hear the plenty is alot better these day's.

Just did cattlewater yesterday and on the northen end near the plenty hwy there is a few deep wash out ruts that could topple your van if you slip into one so try to go with some one just in case. But there is plenty of width for the van just a few odd sticks that you can remove by hand. Cheers Tony
