10.5w on a 7" rim.
Initial impressions, riding at 45psi:
Road noise, none
Steering, still lock to lock
Speedo now a solid 10% under.
Revs, still take off in second. Sucked a bit of it out up top (4th 5th) But I didn't buy it to race.
I had a bit of a hoon in the paddock with them down at 24psi, didn't get all the way back up and didn't check my articulation (I assume sway bars stop too much stupidity) but certainly very competent.
Very happy chappy

Re: All muds and no alloy makes Mihi a happy man!
One thing though, and I'm not sure if it's chinese rims or bigger tyres or just a poor fit up, but the rims have 1-200 grams front and back to balance, which seems like heaps to me. I am thinking about balancing beads inside but not sure if I should be having these pulled and rebalanced!

Not sure about your balancing issue, sorry!
But regarding pressure, I had my BFGoodrich KM's 33x10.5x15 on 7" rim down to 8-9psi and never lost a bead, even when being rough, slamming sideways into banks etc (not intentionally like a clown monkey, just momentum + front spool = hold on)

Less pressure wouldn't have helped me yesterday, was a bit much angle, plus I had mowed the lawn in my previous attempts so it was down to slippy clay, and I wasn't keen on hitting it faster, but yeah, that was one reason for pinching them down onto the skinny rims.
Plus my diff needs shimming. And I need a front Locker.
