That's what I run in mine. How heavy is your rig?

i'm running the GY DTs on aluminium wheels, rugged ridge front stubby and side rails, or-fab tire carrier.

the tires shipped about 500 pounds and i'm guessing another 250 between other things..

When I asked about weight, I was referring to your Jeep (complete with bumpers, armor, etc.). The amount of weight that you're carrying will affect what the correct inflation level is for your tires.

I keep mine at 33 PSI. I get too much road friction below 32 PSI. The ride is fine down to about 30, but it kills gas mileage. The center of the tire starts crowning at 35 or more on my rig.

Just installed Duratracs and they have a Load E rating. It says 80 psi on the tires. The ride is so rough it feels like the jeep is going to rattle apart. I lowered the pressure to 70 and it helped a bit. I read if the pressure is too low it is unsafe? Are you guys running 35 psi on Load E rated tires?
