I have them set at 40.

There's a label in the drivers side door jamb that tells you. I just looked (hee Hee) and it says 23lbs. Remember the tracker is  very light and over inflating could cause overheating and a blowout. I run 25lbs and it seems to ride well.

I usually go a few pounds more than the door label (the label numbers just seem way to low to me).

I've never tried it, but FWIW, I saw a show once about setting your tires up for the best street performance.  If I remember correctly, it went something like this:  you put a chalk mark on one spot of the outer tread and continue it up the sidewall a bit, then do some circles and figure 8's and check the chalk marks.  If there is still chalk on the outer tread, the tire is over-inflated.  If there is chalk missing from the sidewall, it is under-inflated.

Maybe I'll try that someday and see what the PSI ends up.

Hey, I drive mountain roads every day, that make this ---> S  look straight (we're talking paved roads, at high speeds).  It REALLY makes a difference in the handling of the rig.  Properly inflated, she corners amazingly well, considering she has no sway bar, and six inches of lift!  What do I run?

23 pounds.

At 35, she's squirrley, and very bad-mannered.
