I don't think I was even doing those speeds. I'd just entered a roundabout (A64, York) from standstill, so was maybe doing 20 or so. Luckily traffic was light that day, so the only thing damaged was my pride.

These things are very sensitive. Even a slight over inflation of the tyres makes a very noticeable difference in ride quality.

we used to live in acomb, not a bad place.

Discovered bad shocks at 120mph in a beemer, on a curving bridge on the A9, I touched cloth, then some!!

Maybe you have ditch finder tyres, maybe you hit a patch of manky diesel?
Boge.....hmmmm, found them to be distinctly sh!!te on one car I've owned.

I won't argue with the manuf. but a 10 psi difference 'twix front & rear sounds excessive & not something I've ever come across in 53 years of car ownership. Sounds like the sort of difference you'd find on a commercial vehicle.

It is done for a reason.

We run 32/60 on the Landies at work. For vehicles that spend 99% of their time empty, it seems really high in the rear, but it is what LR recommend. I'm sure there are many technical reasons for it.
