Thats right
I have to thank you guys again,I was on here before with problems,similar to yours.
When I got the new tires the shop aired them to 45PSI and I was all over the placevery dangerous.
I read here and aired to 30 PSI and I'm so happy
I have control of my Jeep again
Even with an after market stabilizer it was still hard to handle,airing down really helps

i'm running 26 psi on my toyo mt's but other tire makes with thinner sidewalls may need closer to 28 psi.

Man, I love this place. I've been experiencing the loosey goosey steering as I put it and I'm going to check my psi. Thanks for the info.

On my 37" super swampers, I'm also running 26 psi. Seems to be ideal for good handling and a comfortable ride.

It is much better. You wear evenly across the tread instead of just the middle.

This isn't something people are doing to make the ride better...this is where the tire is supposed to be run. The psi rating on the side of the tire is a maximum not a requirement. It is adjustable depending on the weight of the vehicle sitting on top of them.

If you're not wearing evenly, too much psi
