You realize that the atmosphere (normal air) is 78% nitrogen, right?

Percentages are a funny thing. You have a coffee cup. I fill it 98% with Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and 2% goat ****. Will it taste as good as 100% JBM coffee?

Tires look good, did you get a chance to go through super soft sand to where you needed 4wd? Do those tires dig a lot in the sand?

Thanks,

Yeah, really soft stuff. I put it in 4L and use the manual transmission (buttons). I aired down to 17 front and 12 rear.

I like MTs if you have power to go with them because they work like paddles; they dig but they pull. Smooth tires tend to spin and don't get purchase when you have 300+ ponies. For low hp applications I recommend wide smooth "flotation" tires.

This comes frim almost 30 years off-roading in sand in almost every type of vehicle out there (jeeps, motorcycles, side by sides, atvs, etc) at both a recreational and competitive level.

Gringo,


You have a beautiful truck and a great looking set-up. Those tires look great on 17's and your wheels look great also. Good to see people with set-up's a little different than most and reporting back what fits. Can you give the spec's on the complete tire size, brand and wheel size offset. and what lift.

Gringo just curious. Are you only having rubbing issues with tires deflated. What is your suspension setup. Thankx
