Default Best offroad tire pressure

hey all,

what is the best tire pressure to have when going off road?

on dirt?

on gravel?

in mud?

in water?

on rocks?

in woods?

i have toyo open country A/T's 265-70-16s

i think the sticker on the truck says always 35 psi but the front tires always look low for some reason and the back look great, maybe the weight from the front of the truck flattens em just a tad???

If you run them to low I believe you could brake the bead.

i wouldnt go any lower than 10 psi, but it may be higher depending on what your doing. stick to 15 to be safe.

yeah, with a lower psi its easier to roll a bead, ive done it before, but i was running 8 psi. just have to be carefull to not take corners too fast when youre that low with the psi

no, as long as you dont take it on the road when they are aired down like that.
