Lift and Tyres of your JK

In my opinion that's too high for your jeep. Try 24 psi. Jeeps especially 2 door ones on light truck tyres need less air to ride properly.

For your light weight rig I'd say 24 on road and 16 off

I'm running my MT ATZ's at 32psi on road but mine are 285's which are D rated and I've got a heavier 4dr CRD. Mine wear evenly at 32psi and seem roughly follow the 4psi rule. I can really feel the difference when they're up at 35psi or more (they give a much harsher ride) and they then start to wear more heavily through the centre.

With you having 265's that are E rated and a much lighter JK I'd say you can run them a good bit lower, as Dave is saying. I think JKTom was advised by MT to run his 265 MTZ's at something like 24psi and that's on a 4dr CRD JK as well.

I've noticed when I drop pressure off road mine don't really start to bag out until I get below 24psi, so again your's would need to be a good bit less than that to get the same deflection, having stronger side wall and on a lighter JK.

Best thing to do its give it a go. Drop them, see how it feels, and keep an eye on them to see how they wear.

I'll try drop the tyre pressure, more reason to get a front bar.

Had Mickey Thompson call me and told me to run my shorty at 30 - 32 psi, so now I am very confussed
