i'm using 30 but i think by using the 4 psi rule it will work out around 26, i'm just too slack to take the measurements on a run.
Measure pressure and drive at highway speed for an hour then check pressure again, if it has risen by 4 psi then it is perfect for the load and speed you are doing.
if it is higher than 4 psi then the pressure you started with was too low and the tyre is heating up too much.
if it is lower than 4 psi then it is too high and ride and centre tread wear will suffer.
hope that helps.

On the weekend I did total of 100kms at 11lb front and 6lb rear ON the road too on my 35" pedes. Not advised. Later pumped up to 40lb and much more comfortable/controllable. Make sure you store them on their sides at high pressure. Each vehicle is a different weight and bias as to what will work best.

a couple of months ago we did several trips around coffs harbour and after doing 30 k's on the highway at 15 psi a couple of times the 'pedes didn't even get warm, tuff tyres.

Hey Big Red
I grew up in Coffs but have been on the Gold Coast since having a fourby. Are there any good tracks down there?

I have a hilux, I run 22 pound on the road, 8 offroad. I find it the most comfortable, tried 30 but found they were to rough. Have driven home from blackduck to toowoomba on 10 pound OK sitting on 100 ( around 1 hour ) that suites me but every vehicle is different.
Here's a pic of a pede at 4 pound on the rocks, never come off the rim

Im runnin 31" AT's on the zook, rated @ around a tonne/tyre. Ive been ruinning 20psi on road, and around 6 psi on sand. Cant fault em, even if they're only supporting the weight of the zook. I recently did around 2500k's in one week, mostly on tar, and no wear whatsoever. They're tops
