Thanks.
The tires I am running are Toyo open country A T 2, 215-75-R15
I brought the pressure down to 24 and it seems to run smoother on the road now. The pressure before I brought it down was at 30psi!
Maybe I’ll bring it up to 26psi just to be at a happy medium.
fixkickthere 3 pressure marked on tires and the door jamb is one.
1: max bead seating pressure (tire store man)
2: max cold load pressure 44psi common, this is when hauling bricks. (varies by tire make and type)
3: the Suzuki recommended pressure (not doing #2) 23psi, it's low due to 2 door is a kite. a kite on wheels. in fact. and why 28MPG can happen this too.(epa max is 27 -5sp)
the owners manual only tells you to read the driver door jam.
but look here,

the rumor that 23psi is for anti over is not true, it is for max traction, sliding off cliff is worse. or skidding .
the books also say to run 26psi on ice. (but if you want try all pressures 23 to 26 on ice) no two brands or constructions are no the same, ask a race car mech.
what you want is flat foot print of tire, on the road, and no crowing. LT tires are even worse with stiffer side walls /tread, I had to run even lower pressure not to get slip.
the tire load rating here is 96, and not all tires made are that rating that fit on 15 inch rims. this load rating also sets pressures diffr at diffr loads.
