Normal with this kind of tyre. Max load carrying is at 50PSI, almost a whole GQ each tyre is rated for at 50 PSI.

Tyre still needs some give in it.

I was always having this battle on the GU with 37's people kept inflating them to 40 and it was undrivable, I'd let em back to Mid 20's and all was good.

285 BFG AT's on the GQ worked best around 30.

So the sidewalls are that thick/stiff? or general construction of the tire?

Both, IIRC Load Rating E Tyre like for F250 in the 16 inch sizes.

In conjunction with the thick Sidewall needs different pressures than say an MTR.

MY VE SS also experienced this but in reverse going from OE Bridgestones to the Toyos. Softer sidewall gave better ride and needed higher pressure to perform.

5000kms on them now with some good off road.

Best on road Mud Tyre I've had. Had most of the brands.

Awesome off road at 18psi. Mud Rock ruts etc.

Very impressed compared to the Bias Simex and Swampers I have been running off road.

Vic guys might know Joes Spar. Woods look out etc, all in their stride and then briliant over the Spur in the wet on the way home.

Which bias Simex and Swampers are you compairing them to? And are you saying the Toyos provide the same traction?

Simex 35 11.5, 35 12.5
Swamper Q78 Trxus 35 12.5 36 12.5 TSL

Pro comp XTerrain 37 12.5
Pro Comp Mud Terrain 35 12.5

and still own Simex 35 12.5

This is a better all rounder and much better on the road, in mild Mud did just as well as the bias tyres. Much stronger sidewall compared to any other radial I have seen.

i also run these in a 35"x13.5 on my lux, awsome tyre i run them at 15psi and have no traction dramas, i have driven on road with them and must say the are a very quite tyre compared to others i have used b4, they apparently run a special/different compound compared to some mt's, unsure on that but i highly recommend them.

As these tyre cost $100-150 more per tyre than any other big brand I doubt they are selling well. I would buy set if they were cheaper.
