what PSI should my tires be?, its a stock 96 cherokee SE

 

35

 

Thanks!

 

Its on the side of the tire.

 

Also if you look in the glove compartment it should have a sticker that tells you what the tire pressure should be based on the factory tire size.

 

DO NOT go by the PSI on the tires, that is a safety rating NOT a specification. You should have a sticker on the drivers door or Jam or in the glove box, for stock sized tires. If you have oversized tires you might need to go by trial and error or use the Chalk Method. I have the same model rig as you running 30 BFG and run 30psi.

 

Chalk method is all I do.

Don't mean to hijack but this should help the OP..What's this chalk method? Could some explain in some detail?

 

It's how far you can stick a piece of chalk up your azz while holding your breath. Then you blow into the valve stem. If the chalk pops out while you are blowing ...the resulting pressure is just right. If it gets lost up there, you are under inflated. If it crumbles while you are blowing, you are over inflated.

stock tires, id say ~28-29 PSI would be comfortable.

 

i have never heard of the chalk method but let me take a guess

draw a line on your tire with the chalk and drive for a lil bit come back and see if your over or under inflated by were the chalk rubed off?


Edit: didnt see the link above my post

 

Thanks for the link that should prove to be very helpful for all.
