Re: tire recommendations?
I'm not saying it means run them at the full 80 psi on the TJ, but NOT
29 psi either, as the door jam states.

Re: tire recommendations?
Interesting they call for that high and yup the winch counts. Likely
they say go high for gas mileage reasons. A harder tire has less rubber
touching the road which is less friction.
If I put 33 psi in my 9.5's and chalk test, I only have 4" of tread
touching ground.

they say go high for gas mileage reasons. A harder tire has less rubber
touching the road which is less friction.
If I put 33 psi in my 9.5's and chalk test, I only have 4" of tread
touching ground.

Re: tire recommendations?
Interesting they call for that high and yup the winch counts. Likely
they say go high for gas mileage reasons. A harder tire has less rubber
touching the road which is less friction.
If I put 33 psi in my 9.5's and chalk test, I only have 4" of tread
touching ground.
