    I had to run my tyres at 68psi when I had the split rim ‘cheese cutters’ (235/85) which came fitted from Telstra. When mentioning these pressures here I received the ‘jaw drop’ response from others unused to heavier Patrols on narrow tyres. It was the main reason for changing to wider tyres. (265/75) I now run 40psi front & 45 or 50psi rear, & would drop this a bit when on long stretches of dirt. The lower pressures has made a big difference to driving comfort & will treat the car more kindly. I would suggest that if you are going to get new suspension that you get some new rims & tyres too. Ensure the rims have sufficient load rating.
