Okay, i've followed the 35", 37" and beyond psi discussion, i know some guys use charts, some use chalk/dusty road, but what have you fellas/ladies found to be the best psi for highway manners on a totally stock Gladiator? Please post in this format

Stock :
Rubicon, sport S, Overland, Sport
AT or MT tires (from factory)?

36 psi on my Max Tow Sport with stock AT's has worked best for me. It came from the factory with 45 psi and the wander was very noticeable. It's much better now unless it's windy!

Rubicon stock wildpeak ATs.
31-32 psi cold seems pretty great. I plan to go up to 35 psi cold just to compare but I'm liking where it's at now.

Very little wander, smooth ride, and very quiet.

BEFORE I pulled out of @spenchey 's place, I went back and dropped all 4 tires (that you now have) to 35.
It was a very windy day, but drove good.
BEFORE you leave, drill a small hole in the front fender liners and zip tie them back. You won't even make it to the interstate if you don't.
GOOD LUCK, and early CONGRATS!!! :clap:

Stock Wildpeak M/T.

I'm running at the recommended 37 psi (cold) per chart in door jamb.

Pretty much all my driving is highway to and from work and it rides well at 37 psi (cold).

My Rubi is still stock with the Falken M/T. Over 40 PSI and it wandered a lot (it was over 50 when delivered). Went to 37 PSI and it still wandered some. Dropped to 30 and it felt a bit sluggish and my low pressure sensor came on due to dropping below 29. I am currently running 33 cold and it seems to be more or less ideal.
