[QUOTE="xackley, post: 428951, member: 17509"] 45 pounds is probably the label on the tire for the maximum it can be run safely. I know of no small truck or car that should have the tires pumped that high. There is a sticker on the drivers door to tell you what the car/truck manufacture recommends, which is usually good for highway and MPG. When the the road gets rough or snowy it helps to lower the pressure for a better ride and/or traction. If the conditions are really bad you could go down to 10 psi, but then you drive really slow as the vehicle will wobble all over due to the soft sidewalls. For winter road driving I find 25 psi is a good compromise. For trail, your back, or spinning tires will let you know if the pressure is too high. For fare weather daily driver the psi on the door works just fine on a stock JK. Don [/QUOTE]
