The recommended tire pressure varies greatly from one year to the next, for 
reasons which I can't explain.  Recommended pressure for an '85 Westy is 39 
psi front, 48 rear, and I have found that to be more than satisfactory on 
my '85. But since your tires can't handle more than 35, that's probably 
what you should run with.
