Question Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar (LT-Pro)

Has there been anyone that has bought these tires, Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar (Light Truck)?

I have the Silent Amour version (for 4 yrs) and love them. Not that great on ice but in snow it feels like I'm on dry pavement. I am aware that they just cam out in August 2013. Just curious as to who has them and if they are happy with them? Looking to have them on my new FX4.

Also, if there is someone that can guide me here, I would like to know what PSI I should have them at when the truck is under no load (not towing), an that would not hurt my fuel economy. I was thinking of running all 4 at 60 PSI .

Tire size: LT275/65R18

Any feed back would be great!

Thanks

Not familiar with those Goodyear tires but in an LT rated tire I would try 45psi cold for everyday use. LT tires can go 50, 65 or 80 psi max when loaded but running these psi's for everyday use will rattle your eyeball's when driving!

The 60 psi on the LT 275/65R18 is way too high. Per specs, that tire is a LR E with a max of 65. At that pressure it will handle 3415lbs. A much better pressure would be around 45 as PawPaw stated. Even if towing or fully loaded, you would never need more than 50.

As far as the other tire you mentioned, the Wrangler AT Adventure with Kevlar, I have no experience with it. It as the SilentArmor comes in 2 different load ranges, a P series and a LR E max 80 psi. For them you would have to run different pressures if you go with them. The P series would be 35 psi. The LR E max 80 would need about 50 psi. Maybe a few couple pounds if fully loaded.
