i would normally go for 30 all round, then if you need to swap tyres for any reason they are the same. depends on whether they are performance road of off road though.

28 front 35 rear is OK. Adjust it to what you like really.

I run 235/70/R16 Gener Grabber AT'2 at 30 front and 33 rear.

Depends on the load as well. If carrying weight - freight or folks - you could go 30 front, 40 rear.

If its not broken you are not trying hard enough....

28/35 looks fairly standard.

but it really depends what kind of driving it's for and the state car. I have 265/75/16 mud tyres on my 110 and I run at 34psi all round for open road/motorway when it's not loaded (above that the ride gets hard on bad roads), 40psi at the back for the same road conditions when loaded, 28psi front 31psi back for gentle off roading.
