With all due respect to the members of this forum--and we have some really sharp ones!--I'd say trust the engineers who designed the tires on this one. You can go through the complex calculations they used, or just use the chalk test with cold tires. After that, don't worry about it. The engineers took Charles' Law into consideration when they designed your tires and set the limits on pressure.

Chalk test. Everyone else's answer is going to be wrong (or very likely wrong) for your vehicle. What pressure you run at is influenced by the weight of your vehicle and the width of your rim. Chalk test.

I've run my 35" km2's between 27-30psi for the life of the tires and I rotate them every 3-5k miles. I currently have 67k miles on them with a good bit of treadlife still to go.

I did just that and ended settling on 26 psi cold. Seem to be smoother on the bumps for a solid axle. I used the AEV procal to adjust so no more idiot light. Now I need to get this thing on the trails. Thanx again forum members!
