What tire pressure are you running on the Rubicon take offs (Falken) I know the chalk test but it to damp here to do that this weekend.

Because the "chalk test" doesn't work perfectly with all tires, and I've never gone wrong with the tire manufacturer's recommendation, that's what I'll follow when I get mine in about a week. Got 'em bought, just have to go get them.
That pressure will likely be the Rubicon door jamb sticker pressure minus a bit since the Overland is about 300 pounds lighter overall.

I’m at 37psi all 4 corners. Nice ride not to jouncy at all or feeling anything abrupt.
I know there are tons of recommendations out there. This is working for me. Obviously will adjust for hauling or off road conditions.
This is good for my driving style. I’m also at
15.1mpg in town and hit 18.2 mpg on the highway for a while before hitting the hilly areas.

I finally picked up a set of rubicon take offs with the fallen wild peaks and they look much better on the Overland.

Nice, aggressive M/T. They’ll do fine in snow I bet. Good luck with the rig.

Running 37 psi currently. Ride is fine. May lower it to 35-36 as the 37 was set with the outside temperature being at about 30 and I'm not so sure that's what they mean "cold PSI".
These are the Falken A/Ts from a JT Rubicon on my Overland.

If you want to go wider while using them you'll need to use wheel spacers.
