I suppose you are entitled to your opinion. I was mainly interested in avoiding wear problems and giving Tire Rack a thumbs up. I was not trying to start a fight or hijack the thread with a question that has been beat to death more than once. I was going to call Tire Rack and ask them. I used work on heavy vehicles and the charts for goodyear were different than the ones for michelin. So right or wrong I thought that the same might go for light truck tires. That is why I stated I would call Tire Rack. Some good folks here had some good info they chose to share however and I thank them for that. I do however take issue with your unnecessary comments. This is supposed to be a friendly forum and comments such as yours are better kept to yourself. I will take my own advice and refrain from responding in kind.

You need to take this attitude elsewhere. If ppl wanna ask questions about what side tire should be out let them. Id rather ppl use the search function but your outburst is uncalled for

...this is the reason I ask...they're giving you numbers from a grand, not an XJ...they may have completely screwed the pooch when it comes to the numbers if their baseline was completely wrong...

Im sorry I was not trying to be a **** but the PSI question has been asked over and over again I just don't understand why people cant just read the side of there tire.

Because the side of the tire isn't what your psi should be. Only the max pressure that should be run in that tire.

That warranty may not apply for off-road abuse...
This.
Did you tell them this?

Went to Tire Rack and got some new rubber. General Grabber AT2's to be exact. Cant say much about the tires yet as they only have about 50 miles on them. But Tire Rack was good. Had a 10am appointment and was in and out in about an hour. The only thing I am not sure of is that they told me that they aired up to 35psi and the Grabbers are LT's so the side wall says 50psi max. I wonder if 35 is under inflated enough to cause wear problems. I will call them tomorrow and ask.

I have jeep parts on the way! ARB headlamp housings! and Amico ceramic headlamp sockets, and Hella 100/55 bulbs!!! I will see the light! woo hooo I do plan to run the 100w side through a relay so as not to overload/heat the stock wire harness and or switch
My original post is above. As you can see I was not intending to start a psi debate. now again i will refrain from cutting loose on you sir but your comments are really not necessary

Hmmm....maybe it does. I worked for NASA for 25+ years. I have never gotten in my Jeep and said " feels like I'm 6 lbs low on the right rear" after driving a few blocks, LOL
