18 psi on the Road
Ok so there are a million threads on PSI....and they all basically lead back to one thing. Do the chalk test. So I did the chalk test....many many many times.
This got me down to 18 PSI before It showed me I was getting full tread coverage on the ground. The jeep seems to ride well and I still get around 18-20 mpg.
285\75R16 (33s) ProComp xtreme a\t on stock steelies.
My question......Is 18 psi to low or odd for proper inflation?

I have 32" mud tires and I run them at 35 psi on the dot in all weather rock sand snow and have never had any problems, I found that in loose sand, snow and mud, they gave me more traction than they did at 23psi, tryed it many times and I also think they handle alot better at hwy speeds with 35 than they did at 23 just seems to work for me??????
