Default What have you done to your JK this week?

It's good you found cheap km2s. They are an excellent tyre. But Be careful of tyres that are real cheap. There is a reason they could "probably" be parallel imports. Check before they fit them. Btw parallel import are clones like $10 tag haer watches. Usually made in Indonesia rather than USA for eg.

I run 38psi on my 35" MTZ, do you think that's too much?

I didn't even run the stock 245's at 38psi as I thought that gave too harsh a ride.
I used to run the stock 245's at 35 psi
My current 285/70/17 I run at 32 psi and I'm getting even wear across the tread. If I run them at 38 psi I start to see the centre section wearing faster, and my kidneys don't like the beating they get from harsh ride.
My guess would be no more 28 psi for 35's, but others who run them might be able to advise more accurately.

If you do the maths the volume inside your 35's is roughly 80% more than the volume of the stock tyres. Your JK weighs the same as it did stock (give or take a few mods ) so it only needs the same amount of air in the tyres to support it. The same volume of air in a larger tyre results in lower pressure. According to the maths you could run the 35's at 20psi to be equivalent to 38psi in the stock tyres. There will be other factors to look at such as tyre carcass construction and side wall height differences meaning the tyre flexes more generating more heat so maybe running that low might not be good for the tyres but it shows the direction you want to be heading with the pressures. At 38psi in 35's I'm surprised you've got any kidneys left.

Thank for the feedback, but must admit it's not harsh at all it's comfortable maybe it's the way I have set it up, I might do the chalk test because I can see even wear on Tyres aswell.
