Default Back to 34 psi

I went back to 34 PSI on my Jeep last week. I drive roughly 90 highway miles M-F during the work week and since going up in PSI I've gotten roughly .7-1.0 avg mpg back, my steering wheel has straightened out. Ride feels the same. I poke along at 60-65mph on the highway since distance is the goal for me.

Did primarily to see if the weird feathering I was getting on the following edges of the outside blocks of my BFGs would go away. Been running 30 psi for 30,000 miles which is how long I've had this set of tires.

You mentioned that you're driving straight. Did you have issues with that before?

Steering wheel has been straight. I've straightened it out myself by turning the turnbuckle. I'd say thought the last 5K mi or so wheel has been canted left or right more than usual. Still canted according to the slant in the road just not so much after upping pressure to 34.

Maybe, you should try the recommended 35 PSI cold.
