Anyone know what pressures to run in 305 25 20 rears? These are very non standard, so recommended pressures don't mean anything.

I'd start with 30psi and see how they wear...you can't really tell till you see wear in them...

Charlie have you got a non-contact thermometer?
They have come down in price a lot lately, and they are invaluable in calculating the ideal pressures for the friction/weight/atmospheric conditions you've got.

You start from a fixed pressure and then change up or down aiming for a uniform operating temperature at the tread area.
It takes some time but when you get it spot-on it's worth it.
