What are your 32" KM tire pressures?

Default What are your 32" KM tire pressures?

I'm wondering what to run my Rubi tires at on the street. I could do the chalk test but has anybody already done it?

Also, how long does it take to air down with one EZ deflator to like 15 psi? Do the Stauns/Smittybilt's save you that much time and effort?

THANKS!

I would recommend the chalk test if you're concerned with ideal wear with your particular Jeep. I've seen guys run a wide range of pressure, from around 30psi to the recommended 37psi. There are several variables as to why people change it.

I run mine at 40 while daily driving and the ride is very nice! no plans on changing.
Aired down usually 15-20 but depends on conditions. Never used an EZ deflator

I run 33 on ours. I havent dont the chalk test, but they are wearing very even after 12K. Of course I do rotate every 3K . I have the Staun deflaters and I love them! It so nice to just twist on all four and not having to screw with each tire individually.

RubyDoo is run at 35 on the street and 20 off-road, RubyJeep is run at 35 on road and 15 off-road.

We each have the ARB deflater set-up.
