Most people I have seen ride with about 26-28 psi. Don't let the tire company tell you other wise. They don't know much about MT's if you ask me. Most of the guys are just following charts all day anyway. You rarely come across anyone who owns a Jeep or is an offroad guy anyway.

The guy at the shop I bought mine from said I should follow the sticker inside the door for how much pressure. I asked him why it would be the same for the 29" tires it came with and these 35" tires. He couldn't answer.
35 PSI in mine, and I probably need to come down some, as the outside edges aren't getting driven on right now.

well the tires says max 3190 lbs at 80psi. I imagine that per tire so that would be 6380lbs for two. Since the front weight is 2650. I can calculate:
2650/6380 = 41.5%
41.5% of 80psi = 33.2psi
I'm just curious if that is the proper way to calculate psi?
I am going to try the chaulk test this weekend though.
