I just bought and swapped out a set of 18" sahara rims/tires on my rubicon for a cross country road trip. I run my bfg mud tires at 37psi. Can anyone tell me the recommended tire pressure for the 18" sahara street tires? It should be posted on a sticker in the door frame of a sahara.
Thanks,
Nathan

 

On my Jeep with the 18" wheels with Bridgestone Duelers a/t tires, the sticker on the door says 35psi

 

x2 - a 255/70 on an 18" wheel is 35psi

 

x3 - the Duellers run nice at 35lbs.

to back up a second, I switched out my Duellers for Rubi wheels and BFG M/T's - is 47 lbs the recommended pressure on those?!? I thought they felt a bit soft at 35.

 

The door sticker on my Rubi says to run the stock BFG's at 37. Thanks for the help with the Sahara psi.

It should also be written on the tire somewhere. Probably written really small.

Ah, cool. I read your original post wrong. 37 sounds a lot more reasonable.

That's the maximum pressure that the manufacturer rates - not recommended to ever run that high unless you're carrying a heavy load. ie - I run 80lbs on my GMC 3/4 ton's rears as it's towing a crapload.

 

What will the stock 18" dueler's take as far as airing down. No money for new tires, trying to increase trail performance, is there a happy medium to air down to that you can stick with on road and off say 25-30 range, or is that too low for on road....

snow psi in the dueler?

etc....

looking for info on AIRING DOWN in general with the stock duelers.

A guy with the stock sahara tires and rims that runs with us airs down to about 16 on the trail. Back up to 35 at the nearest gas station of course.
