Never Air to what the tire states ! There is a decal on the drivers door jamb with air pressures you should run per chrysler, However that is a guide since OP is not running stock size tires and a lift

If you go by what reeces tire here in summerville puts in them, put about 50psi. At least thats what they put in the last 2 tires i had mounted there 28-30 sounds about right. I had to run about 25 in my federals so they would wear even, all depends on how the tire behaves TBH.

I run 26 on mine. BIG difference from the 32psi on the drive home from having them mounted. and I run 26psi on the trails and haven't had an issue with traction on dry rocks yet. I rarely air down

I have yet to run into a traction issue while running streetable psi. I'll run 12lbs next time I wheel and see what the hubub is all about. it's just a hassle driving to the gas station on the way home to air back up
