Tire decision question :

[PK]

In my limited experience, the only off road conditions you really need to air down for is rock crawling. All other conditions, the tread design has more to do with performance.

Tom, you should always air down to around 15 PSI for soft sand.
Gives the tyre a wider contact area so you don't bog down so easy.

Spike runs your tires at 36psi is where you live has a moon like terrain.

Mines had the same max psi but never went over the 36 plus that allows me to use valve caps with air monitoring pressure gauges

PK,

I knew I was gonna get some flak on that statement. I won't jack this thread anymore than it already is tho.

You're right. Airing down for soft sand does make a big difference

IF

you have the right tread to start with. I stay away from really soft sand with mine since I have MTs. That tread pattern just digs big holes in sand & doesn't do much for getting you from point A to point B.
