Rubicon - Wrangler Tires
these tires have a some info on the sidewall about max load at 80psi.
80psi!?!?!
great info if you want to run a max load, but what about all of the other
time?
8~)>
what would you guys run in these tires? this vehicle gets used for about
400 miles per week (200 miles of interstate and the remainder is rural
highway and city).

p.s. the police aren't targetting you. *you* are making yourself a target.

Re: Rubicon - Wrangler Tires
Bob:
All tires have a maximum tire pressure stamped on them. That is the maximum
tire pressure for that tire, not for your vehicle. That tire can be used on
many vehicles, some that are MUCH heavier than a Wrangler. If you put 80 lbs
in your Wrangler tires, the Jeep would ride like the tires were made out of
concrete.
The recommended pressure for your vehicle is on a sticker on the drivers
door, or door jam.

i will look at the door jam the next time i see this thing. it is my wife's
jeep and to be honest, i feel REALLY stupid for not thinking to look at the
door jam.
my original intent with my post was to find out what others were doing and
maybe somebody might be using their Jeep in a manner similar to my wife. a
little extra air pressure would increase the mpg a small percentage. would
it be worth it? a sacrifice in ride quality with more air, yes, but would
it also sacrifice safety?
i know, i know. if i was so worried about mpg, i should've bought a diesel
rabbit...
i did and i run about 40psi in those tires and printed on the sidewall -
35psi max

You shouldn't overpressure MTR's, they have a softer tread compound and you'll
get excess wear in the center of the tire faster than usual.
