hey

what pressure should i be running my JT2 34x11.5x15 on beadlocks on the road till i hit the bush?

i know that i can basically let them down to whateva i want in the bush but not sure about road. But what is also just an ordinary trip rating in pressure for stuff that isnt to hard (20?)

thanks

will post some pics with them on my 4by on saturday night, check out my members section then!

beadlocks r not speed rated and r therefor not roadworthy

since they are black, you run 38, if they are white, you run more, black holds the heat in more.
