I had the general grabber at3's on for 4 yrs at 2.4 bar and got 40.000mls with even wear and Tyre rotation. No vcu issues with towing and off road use. 
Got both 4x4 for comfort and MX5 for funThanks gents as always..
I've since fitted the new Britpart shocks to replace the TF ones, and the ride is transformed it has gone from juddery speedboat to a nice comfy cruise ship.
The choppiness and harshness has vanished and to be fair the handling has improved, I don't drive it like a sportscar anyway I bought a 4x4 not an MX5 so a spongy ride and a bit of body roll doesn't bother me, on the roads I frequent from work it is far easier to maintain the limit "60" without having to slow down when approaching either potholes or undulations in the road.
Before it would hit a pothole or undulation and bounce which was quite disconcerting and it would force me to slow down which was an irritation
Also if it hit a succession of potholes it was truly horrific
Now even locked in "standard" it is sublime I'm very happy with it..
It has poly ARB bushes
18" With Nexan Roadians at 40PSI rear and 30psi front to be fair I could drop it 2psi front and rear that might improve it even more.
Thanks.
16" wheels,
Hankook dyna pro 2 tryes at 2.4bar all round.
Terrafirma heavy duty shocks at standard length,
Dunflop bags.
Poly anti roll bar bushes and I can chuck it around with confidence.
Bumps a bit but doesn't flop like a 2.25t flopping thing in flopping jacket!
Ah-ha! It was you with Terrafirma! I knew someone had fitted 'em!
yeah.
I seem to recall it as 38 rear and 28 front.
could be wrong though!
That's what the book says. When empty I run the rear at 34. I'm on General Grabber AT2.

Yeah, stops it bouncing all over the place.
I have found that if i run 38 rear and 28 front it is uncomfortable over pot holes and speed humps, so i adjusted the pressures to 34 rear and stayed at 28 front, the ride is much more compliant and comfortable, not sure why LR decided that 38 rear was needed. Tyre brand and quality will have an effect i guess.
White chalk test.
Tyre science has changed so much since our buses were designed and a different psi could well be suited to an individual Tyre make..

I also run Terrafirma. Have had them on for a while and do quite enjoy them. Actually forgot what she drove live with the OEM (Boge?) dampers. One has started to mist, so I'll no doubt replace all four at some point.
