The heavier tyres highlighted my worn track bar bushings giving the jeep a wheel shimmy over bumpy roads, New bushes will go in this week,
Can any one using this size tyre on their JK tell me what pressures you run on the road & in the rocks? & is any one using 5:13 gears with a petrol auto


I run 28 on the road. Down to 16 off road.
Run the same size tyre on a JK petrol unlimited and have the tyres at 30 for onroad and 16 offroad. Still have the stock 3.73 ratios and hope to have the 4.88's in soon but still runs good and not sluggish with the auto to date.
