Re:
These tyres are usually a quiet tyre and the pressure really depends on how you like the ride.
At 40psi the ride will be rough and bumpy but tyres will last forever.
At 28psi the ride will be soft and feel like you are sitting on a lounge chair but tyres will wear more quickly.
32-35psi is about normal where you get the best of both worlds.

Re:
Thanks Dlpeek! Was about to ask if anyone has had puncture probs with Geolander AT/S. Was unaware of Road Hazard protection. Will check if can get replacement. (Just checked with Yokahama and say no! as tyre was not purchased from their specified dealers). Have had Yoko tyre from first set, rip in sidewall after hitting sharp gutter (understandable) so purchased another 2 tyres, but another gutter encounter resulted in a small hole in sidewall. Tyre only about 9mths and 20K old. No sidewall punctures with either original Toyos or Goodyear RV, but in saying that, the car was not driven by teenagers with those tyres. Was considering changing to a tyre with better side wall protection, is there one?
Also, I run them at about 36psi but find them noisy to the point that I had the mechanic check if it was wheel bearings as it was so obvious.
Changed original Toyos to Goodyear Eagle RV, great tyre, I think stickier than the Toyos or Yokos, but wear of about 40-50K. Was hoping to do some 4WD so went for the Yokos. Looks like the Yokos will go to 80K+ as the two tyres from first set seem bit over half worn at 50K.

Re: Yokohama Geolander
Geos came fitted to the Pajeros at work. They wore out far too quickly for my liking (about 30,000km) We ran Bridgestone 694's next & got 55-65,000km out of them drivng the same roads. So from my experience, I'd never fit the Geolander to my own vehicle as they're too soft and aren't any better thant the 694 off road.
