I run 22-24 on road and 8-10 off road in my 33x12.50 BFG MT's. I would think you could run comparable pressures in 30's.

I've got 235x75x15 BFG MT's on order - are you pleased with the fit?  What susp mods are you running?

The reccomended tire pressure shown on the tire is a maximum pressure for the load-range of the tire. For example if the load range is 2000 pounds a tire that is 8000# for all 4 tires at maximum pressure. Your vehicle weighs 2500-3000 pounds, therefore you do not need to run at the maximum reccomended tire pressure.

If you run a tire  onroad with too low a pressure, then your tire will begin to wear more on the outer tread.
       

Same goes for too much pressure, the tire will wear faster on the inner tread.

I just got new rims and tires and there seems like a viberation in the wheel but I don't think its the balance because it only happens on certian roads not speeds. I have 225/75/15 on my 03 Vitara. the stock tire pressure was 26 should I run that or the 35 the tire says?
