trial and error as every car is different, in weight, experience of driver, and every set of tires are different.

start at 18psi and have fun.

and get yourself a snatch strap ($70), and a couple of rated shackles ($25) to throw in the back.

Make sure you check out the rangies recovery points before hooking up the snatch.

Good point.

With the 19inch rims and low profile tires, you may have issues with tires bagging...

Does she have any offroad driving experience? You could spend your day doing nothing but recovering.

These aren't meant to go offroad... she might get stuck fairly often with those tyres. Just both go out in your Jeep.. saves a lot of hassle.

If she can afford a Rangie, she can afford a second set of tyres and rims for offroad?
