    35 here all round up hill down dale,
    I have done hundreds of thousands of km's on about 5 sets they wear a treat and grip well.
    Would not have anything else for dual purpose but MT/R.

    You can have the all terrain tyres.

    Cheers

    Just a slight "aside" here, but interested in similar views.
    I'm running 235/85r16 Hankook RT-03 on the D2.
    I was told by the tyre shop at fitment that they should be at 40psi for general road use.

    Anyhow, long story (concerning increased road noise....but thats a different story!), I thought I'd give Hankook Australia a quick call for a chat on these particular tyres on my particular (non-standard) fitment. After a very exhaustive chat with them explaining any mods etc, they stated that these particular tyres should be at between 50-60psi all round for general road use, increasing to 70psi for towing. The tyre itself has a rating pressure stamped on the tyre wall stating rated to no more than 80psi max.

    Just wondered what peoples thoughts might be?
    I have increased to 45psi and must admit the ride actually "feels" better, and a slight improvement in noise.

    Cheers,
