We don't use the tire gauge when we figure out what pressure to run our tires at. We use crayons or chalk. Draw a line across the tread of the tire and drive in a straight line until you notice wear (usually 50-100 feet). Once that's done, we note the correct pressure front and rear for reference later.
This is what the crayon line looks like if your tire is over-inflated. Notice the crayon remaining on the outer edge of the tire. Under-inflated would be the exact opposite of this, with the line worn from the edges (not from the middle).Like Goldilocks, you want to get the tires just right-and this is what it looks like. Never listen to a tire shop as to what pressure is right for your Jeep. Your Jeep will have different needs than every other Jeep. Figure it out for yourself. Your wallet will thank you in the long run.
