Default goodyear mtr kevlar psi

I just changed by wheels and tires on a 2008 unlimited rubi. What psi should I have for the street and for the trails? Also what is the best way to deflate the tires and also air up. I want something accurate and fast.

I use Staun tire defators to air down. They are fast and accurate everytime.

That is for the stock size, you might want to check them (chalk test) as it may be a bit high.

You may be pretty darn close at 32, I have the 2 dr and allot less weight than you as I have no rear bumper or skids and chalk showed mine right at 29 she wears perfectly even.
