probably. I run 26-28 psi without issue and get perfect wear pattern.

There's no hard/fast rule on PSI. People will tell you do chalk test. It differs from every jeep due to weight of mods. 25 is a bit low IMO. I run my 37s at 28 cold. Biggest draw back to running too low would be creating more drag, impacting fuel efficiency a bit. Advantage would be bit more comfy ride. I'd say most probably run a 35 around 30psi cold, but again, a lot of it is subjective to personal opinion.

I run mostly toyos and funny thing is trying to chalk them. I can run from 15psi to 40psi and chalk test shows all good at those extremes and everywhere in between. I finally decided for me the 10% rule is the best gauge as well seat of the pants. I used the 10% rule putting 1/2 million miles on motorcycles without ever having an issue so figured it was good enough for jeeps with 4 tires on the ground. I get no noticeable difference in mpg and I am anal about checking every single tank running 36psi vs 28psi but much more comfortable at 28psi. You stated correctly tho no hard and fast rule lots of rights with fewer wrongs.
