That is way more pressure than you need and it will most likely lead to
abnormal wear.

That is actually pretty dangerous.....

At that pressure you only have about 1/4 of your tread actually touching
the road when you drive straight.

This can lead to a fast end to end swap if you hit water or snow. They
will hydroplane fast and quick and you will be doing 360's quicker than
you can blink.

The water will get under the other 3/4 of the tread and literally lift
you right off the road.

I tested my 33x9.5's with 35 psi in them and only had 4" of tread on the
ground. I got the best grip at 28 psi.

When I used 31x10.5's they wore out perfectly even all across and I was
running at 26 psi city, 28 highway.

Now If I had those tires on a 1 ton truck and carried a load, I would
run them close to the top rated pressure.

But a Wrangler is only a 1/4 ton truck.....

Mike:

I agree, 48 lbs. is WAY TOO MUCH pressure for that application, but as far
as hydroplaning goes...

A tire with lower than recommended pressure will hydroplane easier, quicker,
and at lower speeds.

A tire with higher than recommended pressure will hydroplane less, and
usually at higher speeds.
