I have LT E rated truck tires on my XJ Cherokee. There doesn't seem to be much rolling resistance change above 40PSI. They are also much heavier than a P-rated car tire.

What I noticed playing with pressures: Anything above 40 and wheel bearing life can be measured in months.

60PSI and above: The jeep will actually bounce off of the road when you hit bumps. Good shocks or not.

I do like having E rated truck tires for going off road. Less likely to put something through the side wall. And they seem to wear like iron.
