I just installed some about two weeks ago.  I started with 40 psi, and that
seems a bit low in the rear. (Tire is bulging and heating up a bit on the
freeway)  I am going on a long trip this weekend (500 miles) and will try
bumping the rears up to 45 psi to see what that feels like.

What does everyone else with the BFG 27's on their Westy run?
