Jeeps lots of jeeps
I'm not running them but for that size 28-32 will be the proper range. Start at 32 and work down from there to find the sweet spot.

Thanks for the response. What are you basing your answer on?

I cannot give you that answer, however I can supply you information about the KM3 35x12.5x17, I run them happily at 32.

Owning 50+ 37-40 inch tires. Over time you figure out what works best.
Unfortunately, or Fortunately . . . . . the KM3's characteristics are nothing like any prior MT's. They were conceived with a different design intent.

I am running the km3’s, not in a 37” but a 39”. I have worked my way down to 28/29 psi and the happy point.

Correct pressure depends on the weight being supported so is different for different setups. Get some chalk and find the pressure that produces even wear.

I am currently running 30psi on my 37” KM3’s. It’s a hair too high. Going to drop to 28psi.

Tried them at 30 and ended up dropping them to 28. Seems like the right pressure.

I keep them around 28-30 seems to be about right so far. Their getting ready to hit 10,000 miles.
