i will test these the same way i did the stock 285's working my way down 5 psi at a time . i measure for sway-bar rub and dont want it to get to bad as i air down more and more .
next tests will be 20 psi and then steping down to 15 psi and checking rubbing issues as i go .
i ran the stock 33's in pismo at 15 psi and could go wherever i wanted . i also like knowing how the tires perform at different pressure settings . any info you have on 35's on a narrow ass rim is welcome

FWIW, most guys I know run wider tires on the narrower rims b/c they actually stay attached to the bead seat better than wider rims. I had a friend that ran a 33x14.5" bogger on 7" wide rims....He aired down to 3 psi with no beadlocks and never rolled a bead off. The only downside is crowning the tread more when at road pressure.

Good luck to you. The tires you chose look great.

Take care,
Sean
