No such thing as 35's and economical... I just put 35's on mine this weekend and Im gonna fiddle with the pressure's over the next few weeks but nobody ever seems too mention overall weight of the rig when suggesting tire pressure. Im thinking that even the same exact rim/tire combo would differ between a 2dr/4dr...soft top/hard top and then you consider the bumpers,rock rails,etc. that get changed out must really affect the tire pressure thats "just right". And thats just on exact setups all around. Im at 35psi in my tires right now and they are a little stiff feeling but she ran down the highway smooth and straight. I was actually surprised a bit. I can see 30psi probably being just right though. I will know soon enough.
