Bouncy Jeep (Newb Question)

[Zenk]

The Milestar Patagonia in 38x13.5x17 is a C Load Range.... that was one of the big reasons I went with them.

35's Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I believe I saw 37 psi for all 4 tires on the screen. I thought better shocks would do the job.

Try 32-34 psi range. You can go lower to 30 psi but your TPMS light will stay on. I run my 33's at 32.

And get a Tazer JL mini to lower your tpms psi warning settings. I have the Ko2 315 C-rated running at 30 psi. Perfect!

I've always ran LOAD RANGE D/E on my jeeps-

I have HANKOOK DYNAPRO LT315/75RX16MT--"E"--AT 30PSI-on my JLR

Great control, nice ride WHAT THE HEY !

I have a2019 JLUR with KO2 35x12.5 with 2" Mopar lift an also got them at 44 psi from dealer. I went to the recommended 37 that heats up to 38 so I went down to 35 that heats up to 37. I would love to go down to 32 but I am afraid of tire wear.
Has anyone done this on 35" tire and lift for enough miles to say no uneven wear?

I’m at 30psi with exact same setup as you

How many miles on the 30psi... no uneven wear?

 

[JIMBOX]

Well lets see---I'll run the tires at 37/40 psi and get the BEST TIRE MILEAGE--course that screws up the steering/ride/road handling/COMFORT !

So I run 30/32 psi and get 10% less tire mileage, but the JEEP is COMFY/rides great/corners great and handles STUPENDOUS--

What's your BEST OPINION ???

Few thousand played with psi biggest is power loss with the 30 compared to 38 runs good just to bouncy for me

power loss with decreasing tire pressure?

 

[SpringsJL]

Yes more of a footprint more power to push the less inflated tires if that makes sense

I have 315/70R17s (basically 35") Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the stock Rubicon wheels, no lift. I read online 30-32PSI, then I contacted Nitto and discussed the tire, Jeep model, etc with them. They said to run 32PSI. That's where I'm at, and it rides just slightly firmer than the stock 33" KO2 Cs. I checked with my pyrometer after extended driving and the temperature is even across the tread, which would indicate the pressure will lead to an even contact patch/tread wear.

That's funny, I emailed them and they told me 30. I'm at 30 now but I liked them better at 32. Think I might move back up.

How are those working out?

And, what backspacing?
On what width rim?
