Thank you, it works great, and so much faster than calibrating off of your spare!

General rule of thumb is about to air down about 1/3 of the recommended highway pressure.

Calculating the pressure with weight, for my previous "jeep", I had 20lbs.
My problem was with 16lbs.
This using a creepy crawler 35x12,5x15, on a steel wheel 15x8.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it also really depend on the size of your rim? It's got to be a ratio of rim/tire size to some extent doesn't it? Isn't it about volume?

I assume if you're running a 35" tire with an 18" rim you're going to run more pressure than a 15" rim.

I run my 35" tires at 12psi on the rocks with 15" rims with no bead locks. If I was running stock rims/tires, I would maybe run closer to 18-20lbs. .
