       Tyre pressures with modern radials on series Land Rovers are
       down to personal choice and trial and error IMHO. The low 25psi
       that was fine on crossplys of the day I find doesn't work well
       with modern radials. I run 30psi all round on the 109 with Mich
       XZYs and still think they look a bit on the flat side. The
       ambulance is 35psi front 40psi rear on 235/85R16 Cooper
       Discoverer STTs and if memory serves I run 30psi all round on
       the 88 which has 255/85R16 BFG MTs. I have however run the 88 on
       Mich XZYs at 50psi (too lazy to check) when I bought ex-MOD rims
       and tyres complete and I can't say it hugely affected anything.
       It felt a bit firmer as to be expected but not a lot else.
