35's on a GV is baaaaaaad mojo. There are (early) plans afoot for a new-ish build. So far it's just a set of tyres, a chassis, two diff housings, a cab and a heap of tube, and some axles on order from tanshi. Once it's actually rolling (and fully in my possession) I'll kick off some sort of a build thread. For now, I'll just leave this here as a teaser: NT spaced vit-based housing with sierra ends set up for disc brake rear and full float with chromo axles to drop in to suit.

From what I've seen, yes, maxxis bias tyres need very very low pressure to work due to the stiffness of the sidewall.

My 33" Centepedes I use to run at 2-3psi off road and the same for my 38" Creepies above that they struggle to grip a little too much. I have never really 'needed' beadlocks the Pedes would just get gravel in the bead every now and then that was easy enough to clean out but I have only ever rolled the bad once in 6 or so years even doing the higher speed stuff I do these days.

yes!. Although I see you are in SA. I seem to remember somewheres, that tyre pressures had to be higher in Adelaide, due to the Barrossa Valley being there... Could be wrong, though.

Ok so I checked my placard this morning and it read 23 front and 26 rear so I dropped them back to 24psi each corner,it sure rides better now. They were all on 39psi,I will always check in future.

Got mine out of the show room with 42 psi in them... felt like slapping someone... who in there right mind puts people in danger (people who don't know any better).
In saying that I have them at 32 (is what feels comfy) for road but might drop them down a bit after reading this!
Cheers
