HELP!! PSI

Just a little question for yous guys. I am running my BFG's at 31 psi. What is the optimum psi for BFG AT, I run about 95% on road 5% off road. I live in NM which right now has low temp of 5 and highs of the mid 30's. What would the optimum PSI for these tires be. I am saying this because although I enjoy the grip on the rocks when I occasionly go, I feel that I am losing gas mileage.

Thanks alot,
Ryan

P.S. I really would like to know soon
 






look on the sidewall for max psi here the average is 32-35 psi so 31 sounds about right if you you will improve mpg but get a rougher ride &wear out the centre of the tread so it really is a compromise to get the best of both worlds
hope this helps even a little bit
 






The max psi for BFG ATs is usually 45-55, but NEVER run them at that. Anyway, I recommend about 33-34 psi cold. Remember that if the weather changes often and drastically, check your tires more. When you go wheeling, air them down to 15-20 psi; 20 psi (no lower) if they're stock size.
