M38A1CDN2 Tires

Thanks for all of the feedback received. The tire dealer insisted that l should go by the psi listed on the tire, I did not agree with him. The tires are now set at 28 psi. Shows how much some of these people selling and installing tires really know.
I wonder what psi Jay Leno had put in his 1200 tires??

I think the tire dealer was doing "cover your ass" - tires at maximum pressure rarely fail, underinflated tires have significant failures...

45 is too high, 10 would be toooo low. 28 is just right.

I cannot imagine driving an M38a1 with 45 psi. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean.

I have also noticed tires cracking prematurely when they are at max pressure. Especially the STA brand.

Hi,
I pulled out the old tires paperwork. I bought the old tires back in April 2006, and they cost $95 ea and the tubes were free. During those 17 years l put about 9000 miles on them. I had no problems or flats during their life on the jeep.
What is the average life span for some of the other jeep tires that you guys have?

I put my new tires on a couple years after you did. My trips are generally short. My tires are barely broken in. They probably do as many miles offroad as highway. We use it to go to the local forest for firewood pulling a 1.5 ton trailer.
