Iqaluit has more roads than we do but you won't be able to drive out of town anywhere. Should be lots of nice off road adventures for you there!

Since we commonly run over sized tires on our JKs, you can usually find the pressure that you're comfortable with for your specific needs - higher psi for better fuel economy or lower psi for comfort/traction.

I just don't want to damage my tires in the cold. Is that even possible? I am running around 12PSI now becuase it is all dirt road here so it makes the ride WAAYY smoother. Can I run it at that all winter as well in -50?

Yes you can but every morning you will have flat spots with the colder weather but it will not adversly affect the tire

I don't understand how does it being cold have an effect on you being able to lower your tires to 12 psi. Shouldn't tire psi be kept the same reguardless of the tempature?

I am running 35 X 12.5 Micky Thompson Baja Claws. I live in Nunavut where it gets to -50.
I am currently running at 12PSI becuase there are no paved roads and it makes the ride smoother.
On the tire wall it says 70PSI COLD or something like that but realistically, what should I run at in extreme cold?
Thanks.
