The MT/R's really don't start working (in the rocks) until you get them under 10psi, literally.
If you like them at 11, take 'em down to 8psi, or even 6psi.
They simply stick like glue.

Look at the right rear:

Mine deflect like that at 11!
No chirping, and no rim damage, remember my truck is heavier than yours.

No chirping on mine ..

No rim damage on mine (BTW, looks like you're running 10" wide wheels, which would make 'em more prone to rim damage). I'm running 7" wide wheels.

What's your vehicle weigh ?
