Tyre pressures?
Yes, I know it's probably been asked before but it gives me a chance to show off my new wheels & tyres and ask what tyre pressures should I use...?
The wheels are Maxtrac 8"x16" (Anthracite) with 255/85 Maxxis Bighorns fitted.

I think they have 35psi in at the moment but they look a little 'hard' to me! Should I let a bit of air out?

30 psi is always a good starting point. Jeff
