tire pressure for 285/75/16's?
What is everybody running front and back, just put on 285/75/16 goodyear wrangler silent armors and was just curious as to what psi everybody is running and how they feel at that pressure.

I have those tires. The H3 steering felt like a tank at 35 psi. I increased it slowly in increments and at 42 psi, the steering felt like it did with the OEM Wrangler Rt/s tires. I really like the tires, they ride really well, and are quite.

I was going to put the pressure up to around 39-39 as I have them set at 32 now. Thanks for the info, i will try 40 ish.
By the way (hfuglaar) have you tried the tires off road yet or in the snow. It figures, after i buy the tires the temp goes into the 60's here in NJ. Wish it would snow already.
*****Still looking for suggestions to do some light off-roading/trail riding in or around NJ*****
Just came back from Mobile Al, last week and did some trail riding with the stock wranglers, no problems.
When I got back I had to convince the wife, that the h3 was safer with bigger tires [sm=badbadbad.gif]

RE: tire pressure for 285/75/16's?
Anyone have what they consider a really nice tire pressure guage those 32...35...40+ psi's? I thought mine was good for the simple task; however, on my tire/wheel combo and with those values (they seem a hair bigger than my other cars), I am finding it somewhat difficult to use my ol' trusty guage. It's analog so maybe it is time to upgrade to digital.
