[QUOTE="JerryD, post: 437365, member: 17662"] The max psi rating on the sidewall is often [U]way[/U] too high for a JK and will deliver a really harsh ride, with unpredictable steering response over rough areas. My Ntto's are 35" Load Range "E" and have a max load of 3195lbs @ 65psi per tire. No way do I run that high a pressure on the highway. If I did, I would abnormally wear out the center tread since I don't have near enough weight on each tire. The best way to determine the right pressure for YOUR vehicle outfitted as YOU have it, is to run a line of chalk across the tread, drive a bit and see where it is worn away. If you start at what the max pressure is, you'll probably need to let out some air and rerun the test a few times. As a comparison, I run about 25psi in my two door on the street. I think [USER=18221]@BLACKJKU[/USER] is on to something with the tire pressure. Good luck. Jerry [/QUOTE]
