Drive around town on them at 3 or 4 pounds for a few days. They should soften up?

Doubt it! I hired a set that looked like they were first used Noah's rockcrawler. They had heaps of gouges, scratches, cuts etc with thoroughly rounded lugs. I drove on them for about 40 mins at 100 kph and they only felt slightly soft - still had plenty of control. When I got home, they had no evidence of baging at all. Drove to work the following day and then back on the highway with no bagging at all.

I think the JT2's are an awesome tyre. I had a mate with some K+ (kevlars), ran them with 5psi on his large 80, 16s on alloys, no tubes etc never rolled a tyre off the rim - and he drove HARD. Even the non kevlars have the 6 ply sidewall. I run them on my wagon and my hilux. I prefer the firmer sidewall - I feel it gives more control (less squirm and roll) at the lower pressures. I prefer a narrower tyre - more ground pressure per square inch than a fatty. Not as much bling, but its a trailrig not a maller. These tyres happily run in the small digits, just use a narrower rim if you get nervous. NAM, you could probably run with the valve cores loose, (not removed though) and some tyrelocs if you have the K+'s. The narrow tyre would be excellent on your bantamweight.
Built, not bought.
