Re: tire recommendations?
Yes. If the tire is rated for 80psi @3Klb, then it should perform
similarly when inflated to 26 or 27 psi under a 4000 lb Jeep. Using
chalk to find the optimal inflation for even wear will likely produce
similar results.

Re: tire recommendations?
How much lead to you have in the back of the jeep that would warrant
running over pressure for your vehicle's sticker weight?
For my CJ7 with it's original steel body, 26 psi gave a decent footprint
with 31x10.5 tires. I ran 28 fully loaded which is about the weight of
a TJ empty and all 4 tires wore out perfectly even all at the same time.
I have to keep my 33x9.5's at 29 psi or I get more side roll than I
like, but they handle better down near 25 psi.

running over pressure for your vehicle's sticker weight?
For my CJ7 with it's original steel body, 26 psi gave a decent footprint
with 31x10.5 tires. I ran 28 fully loaded which is about the weight of
a TJ empty and all 4 tires wore out perfectly even all at the same time.
I have to keep my 33x9.5's at 29 psi or I get more side roll than I
like, but they handle better down near 25 psi.
