Typically 28 PSI in the summer and 35 PSI in the winter for me.
Edit: And I have 33x12.50r15 tires.

This thread is beyond irrelevant. every tire is different. every jeep is different. need to do a chalk, dirt or water test. cruiser has the best info. no offense to you other posters but your posts serve no purpose without more info from the OP. like, what tires does he even have

He's not asking what PSI to run in his own tires based on what we're running in ours, he's just asking what we're all running in ours. So I answered his question not only relevantly, but truthfully.

I'm not sure what's irrelevant. It sounds like you didn't even read the post; that, or assumed it was about something else before posting. He's not asking what PSI to run in his own tires based on what we're running in ours, he's just asking what we're all running in ours. So I answered his question not only relevantly, but truthfully.

I've been told that you shouldn't run higher pressure in the winter because as you drive the air in the tire warms up and expands, negating the effect of the cold weather.

atm I'm stock in tires (235/70/16) and run 29/30 year round. dirt and chalk tests show this to be my jeeps sweat spot. any higher and driving on dirt shows irregular marking

That's my theory, at least.
I haven't had any blowouts yet, but I do get good gas mileage.
I agree with you on the English bit. I really had a hard time understanding what he was asking.

8-15 offroad depending on what it is... my quick deflates stop at 15.
32 on on pavement year around.
Currently running 315/75/16 Duratracs but I do the same with everytire... I have never done a chalk test.
