Thanks for the info. I have a seasonal creek to cross at times, steep hill with some snow in the winter, and a short very steep hill on my driveway that requires 4 wheel drive or a little run. I prefer slow and no tire spin. Plus I do some prospecting out in the desert, so lots of rocks. The only tires I buy are BFG All Terrains. On my 97 Cherokee I went from 16 & 22 psi F/R (perfect tread wear and footprint) to 40 & 45. Harsher ride but not bad, wear towards center some, and almost 2 mpg increase.
