That could be. I have only called makers regarding motorcycle tires, and
found Avon, Bridgestone, and Dunlop to be quite helpful. On 4 wheel vehicles
I use experience to guess my own best settings, plus some chalk and a temp
gun.

I was referring to the Jeep recommended tire pressure that's listed on

in them also. When I checked a similar jeep that came with 30+9.5 15
the door sticker from jeep recommended 29psi cold. These tires
feathered out after about three months and I was just trying to
determine the cause. The shocks don't seem to be in bad shape and I've
set the
toe -in to 1/8 myself. The tires are Duller AT Revos which are great
except for the wap,wap wap sound the tires now make. I understand that
off road tires will make more noise but that noise should be a
consistent sound, not a variable.
