My Off Road is box stock, only 2000 miles, and I have about 42 psi in the tires for long trips. As you probably all know estimates are 16-21 for the 2nd gen but I'm only getting 15 hwy taking it easy on the gas. My Cherokee started out at 17 hwy and towards the end was getting 19 or so.
And I did use EPA estimates in my choice of vehicles. I tried to get something that balanced off-roadability and mpg. If I knew I was only going to get 15 rather than something like 18-19 I may have sacrificed off-roadability.
You should reconsider putting 42 PSI in your tires. That has to be over the rated maximum and you're begging for a blowout.
