How many pounds do you use in your tires? The door sticker say 36 but I’m thinking maybe 38psi offers the best balance
I usually the tire as to how it reads. If you overinflated you'll get inside tread wear and if you under inflate outside edge wear. In mud and sand you can under inflate slightly as it will provide more ground surface area hence better traction.

My door says 41....hmmm. And I tried all from 36-41. Settled on 40. Lower pressures had a little outside tread stepping. Perfect wear at 40, for me. And I am usually the only passenger which does make a difference.

And for you northerners, pressure drops a pound give or take for every 10 degrees. So I check at least monthly.
