What tire pressure are you running, should be close to 50lbs. 

That only applies to load range C tires. My Load Range D Carlisle tires get 65psi. Load range E tires can go to 80 psi if I recall correctly.
 

50 psi. is what the stock off-road tires need that come on a Hood River Edition, that the OP has.

Ergo, they are most likely load range C tires. If the OP decides to keep load range C tires, then 50 psi is correct. If the OP decides to upgrade to load range D tires, then 65 psi would be correct, 80 for load range E tires. I wouldn't recommend either C or E. D seems to hit the sweet spot of sufficient load carrying capacity without being overly harsh.

I found when driving in winter with those who don't know how - The first rule of winter driving is effective.  That is:  They can't hit you if you are in front of them going faster than they are.  LOL

Put these on my 182G and so far they have been great.. A little pricey, but after changing the cheapies on the side of the interstate, seemed worth it to me!
