If you bought the same size tire that were on your Expy as stock I would go with the tire pressures on the side of the driver's door. For my 99 EB it's 30 front and 35 rear psi. I think it was BigMatt that said he run 5lbs higher in front and rear. I have yet to play with the pressure in mine.
I noticed my Expy seemed hard to turn at lower speeds with the stock tires but with the new tires it got much easier. I am not sure if it was the tread design, the fack that I went with a street tire rather than an AT tire or the rubber compound.

But I am one size larger 255 vs 265 16.. thats why Im curious as to what pressure to run.. I dropped the front to 35 and that helped a good bit.. think the rear at 35 would be o.k also?

I would say the rear is good at 35. That's what I am running mine at and they seem to ride ok.
I got 305/60R17 or something like that on mine. They are a might bit wider but the compliments have already started coming in. They ride great and have stopped 75% of the dreaded body lean on turns.

I don't have the REVO's but do have the Dueler AT's. I had to "play around" with my pressure to find a comfort spot. I'm in the mid 30's. 40 psi sounds really high to me unless you're really loaded.
