Re: Tire Pressure: How low can I go?
I personally don't recommend anything much below 18 or 20 just because I
see them blow off too easy at that pressure the way we run.
A Jamboree isn't likely the 'Yee Haw' style of driving we see on our
sand pit runs. I am talking 3rd low right to the mats. Land Rovers
with the factory team do the run we blew the 20 psi tire off on and they
have to have their emergency system fired off with the lights and horn
flashing/going off at the 2/3 mark or they aren't going to make it type
runs....
This stuff:

This is one where 'I' am at the top and not 'One' fat tire'ed Jeep could
get to me. Aired up or down... They tried and tried and tried....
LOL!

Re: Tire Pressure: How low can I go?
> So you are airing down to 6 psi with no beadlocks?
Yes, but thats for bone-dry sugar sand when i often went to the Imperial
Dunes or Playa Malarimo near Guerrero Negro. If you were planning on jumping
or going on hardpan, that would be too low. There are many different types
of sand and terrains that require different driving techniques and presure
settings. Sand on the Sea of Cortez on the beaches of southern Baja are
large grains, but have no interlock, so you sink deep. Here in snow, a light
vehicle can float with low pressure in big tires but a heavy vehicle on
narrow tires should be high pressure to reach the bottom.
