245/75R16 General Grabber AT 2 Tire Pressure Recommendations?

.........is the VX close to 50-50 weight distro?

The VX is damn close to a perfect 50/50 weight distro. According to www.MotorTrend.com (magazine), here are the weight specs:

Curb Weight = 3955 lbs.
Weight Distro, f/r, % = 51/49

Oh, and regarding my originally bouncy ride, maybe, just maaaybee, I had the back Ranchos on "0" insted of "9," just maybe.

Today's 30-min. ride to work was much better. I'm going to do another tire chalk test when it's cooler, as the air in the tires last night, by the time I finished testing, was very warm. I'd like to get one perfect chalk test, as in, I can't find the chalk marking after driving 1 block in a straight line. I was still showing a little chalk at 60 psi on the very outer sipes of the tire. I think 54-56 will be the best, or even slightly lower.

Thanks again.

I don't think I'd take anything in a MT article as gospel...

If they can get something as major as suspension wrong...

(The following is excerpted from this MT article)

"Augmenting a full-coil suspension that uses MacPherson struts up front "

I'm not saying they're wrong on the weight distribution, I'm saying it's certainly a possibility...

And PK is spot on with regard to the max inflation pressure...max load = max pressure. Just because you CAN inflate to 80, doesn't mean you should.
