    Looks like you have the basics pretty right.
    If in doubt the 4Psi rule applies,

    Mine came with 48 from the factory on all 4, I ran that until I let them down the first time to go offroad.

    I run fronts at 40 and rears at 45 now. Up to 50 on rear if it is full for a trip.

    tyre pressure testing

    Initially I ran the book ( haines ) figures for 750r16 but...

    Having experimented with various pressures and prior experience with series 3 pressures currently running 28 front 34 rear no load around town and generally sitting less than 80km/hr. That's for a trayback with 750r16 michelin XZA.

    Upto about 90 000km and not worn out yet.

    These pressures take a lot of the crash rattle bang out.

    Much closer to book figures fully loaded and the 4 psi rule.

    Note these are tube type tyres.

    With my 130 single cab (unladen) I am running 34 in the front and 28 in the rear. Smooth as . Well , a lot smoother than the recommended 40 / 75 on the placard.

    I'm running 235/85's which are essentially the same as 750R16's.

    Well as a test I dropped them all to 30 for the trip home from work anyhow I think 35 would be ok in the front and 30 in the rear empty to throw a spanner in the works what pressure are you running off road? I was thinking about 18psi off road depending on load of course. And my tyres are tubed of course
