I agree with Steve.
As an original owner of a 1967 BJ8 I have some experience with tire
pressure.
It is worth experimenting with 128 and 132.
With my car the handling difference is noticeable in mountain driving.
Don't like my wife driving at 128!

I use 30 psi all around with radial tires. The original tires were
typically bias-ply, and 20/25 seems a bit low to me, too, especially for
bias-ply.

Well, at the risk of starting a never-ending thread, what's the consensus on
tire pressure for my BJ8? I will be doing mostly local driving, certainly
not racing (!), and will be setting them cold. The book says 20/25, which
seems low to me.
