42 F & 45 R PSI from memory. Dropped back to 35 & 37 PSI.

Despite only doing about 5-10,000km one has developed a whiring noise like a failing bearing. It’s the tyre it disappears when I swap or rotate tyres.

I generally change over to my 2nd set of wheels with 19” Winrun cheapo HTs when 18s are not required. The cheapo Winruns were supposed to be an interim tyre. But I rate them on road and gravel tracks. Never had a flat, slipping or noise issue.

I would say the initial pressures are too high

And I would rather a Tyre with good grip and performance rather than huge kilometres. Normally move my tyres on when they are down to 60 percent

So after doing some mild off-roading the other day and bending my side steps, i'm thinking a road set with standard tyres, I picked up a set of 4 mags and near new tyres for $500, and have a set of play tyres as well. I reckon a set of 17's with some larger than standard tyres, maybe muddies, plus the lift rods and it will be nearly unstoppable!

Motivation was also watching the youtube vid of Monkey gum trail with the D2, D3 (looks same as mine) and a Patrol. Would like to do that track.

Yep, I have the GOE Rocksliders and the GOE Lift Rods (and bought the GOE Air Compressor Cover and did 3 days training with Gordon from GOE too)...... I installed all the parts myself and they work great, though I have to admit, I've only ever used the Lift Rods just the once.

Here is a pic whilst using the Lift Rods and showing the Rocksliders.
