At last I have managed to get round to photographing all my Landies together, although they are usually parked inline on the drive, it makes for difficult photography

Nice collection you have. What kind of wheels to do use for all the sand? I live in Hawaii and I do alot of off road in the sand, but I can feel the wheels slip. I was wondering what you used to help out with the sand.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Wheels are standard Land Rover, tyres are Michelin Synchrones, 235s on the older Disco, 255s on the newer one and the Defender has 265s

On sand I run at 10-12 psi

Low pressures are required to increase the footprint and spread the load over a larger surface area giving more traction.

If you really get in the soft sh!t I have seen people drop to 5 psi drive out inflate back to 10-15 and carry on.

Two years ago I drove to the Wahiba with family which meant including kitchen sink. I was the only Land Rover along with three Toyota Prados and a Nissan Patrol. I carried two spare wheels and was the only person not to pop a tyre.

Land Rover rims are damn good at retaining tyres can't say the same for Jap stuff. My mate Chris runs a Range Rover at 8 psi and never has problems.

If you have sand coming through the air vents you must have lost the filters that should be there (Disco)
