The 4PSI rule is a proven way to find the right tyre pressure for your 4WD\u2019s tyres across ANY terrain.<\/p>\n<p>Set your pressures roughly where you think they should be for the terrain using your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/tyre-deflator-kwiky.html\">Kwiky Tyre Deflator<\/a><\/strong>, and then drive for long enough to get the tyres warm. Check the pressures again, and if they\u2019ve gone up by more than 4psi, the starting pressure was too low. If they\u2019ve gone up by less than 4psi, then your pressures were too high and you should drop a couple of PSI out. It\u2019ll help you figure out the correct tyre pressure for each terrain. After all, poor pressure choice and is the biggest contributor to tyre failure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the right compressor setup and the right tyre pressures no matter where in Australia you like to drive, you\u2019ll not only get more milage from your 4WD tyres but also get additional performance one hard soft and slippery surfaces!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve set your campsite up with Adventure Kings gear then you\u2019ll understand the incredible value for money, best of all, with 100\u2019s of uses, the Adventure Kings range of air compressors is just as handy around the home or campsite, as it is in the back of your 4WD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No other accessory will get you further off-road than the mighty 12v air compressor.
