[QUOTE="phydough, post: 1095439, member: 57"] I am under pressure (from my wife) to drive like a normal, sane human being. Whatever that means. I run more around 40-44 for pavement, gravel roads and desert running. I want more solid action of the steering without that little extra roll of the sidewall. In snow, I leave it at road levels unless I get into problems. Then I lower it enough to get traction. By that point, I don't care about a presure gauge, I just want to get out. I've been breaking open roads that are deeper than running board high at 40. Ice=chains. Mud varies too much to tell. Too low, catch a rut and break a bead. Rock crawling....don't go out with Jeep guys, they laugh. It's a balance between tire pressure and clearance. 20ish works for me. Some Jeepists have to pick up their lower jaw off the ground when they see a big fat Raptor make it through a goat path. I couldn't tell but assume you carry a compressor. You really "shouldn't" be running 20psi back to town. It is probably okay, just a "shouldn't do that" kind of thing. Think of tire pressures as a girl in college, it's fine to experiment. [/QUOTE]
