Default 35's PSI?

I have had 35's on it since I got it.. and the man said he found the 27 psi wore pretty good on em... I took it to a dealer for some work, and I believe they raised the psi.. Now the back two are good and the front two are weird.. like the treads in the middle are up higher than the outer treads.. do you think its too high of psi,

I haven't checked the psi yet, but with them being high, should I rotate the tires, move the rear straight up and cross the front to the rear?

I've been doing the five tire rearward cross rotation since my M/T were new and they're wearing evenly.

My spare has a cracked wheelsl so I can't do that... but mine were wearing great til I took it to the dealer, I'm going to air them all back down to when I first got it.. but in order to fix how the front are now, should I move em to the back?

Check the psi first, then do a chalk test (plenty of info on the site about that). Most guys running 35s set them in the high 20s/low 30s. I run 29 in mine and along with regular rotations, am getting even wear.

You can do the four tire rearward cross if you have some jack stands or a couple jacks.

I have 37 psi on mine and they have about 5000 miles on them and the other day goodyear said they are wearing really well for a jeep.

Just lower the air pressure to where you had it and it should be fine. Definitely sounds like too much air in them. The last time I went to the dealer, they did the same thing to me. I just lowered it back down to where it was

Typically if the outer part of the tire is more worn than that is a sign of too little psi and vise versa, however the wear is on just the front which is more likely because they need to be rotated do to wear from turning. My guess is they need to be rotated.
