airing down
Quick question. What are safe pressure for airing down the pinz tires both on stock wheels and on widened wheels. Thanks in advance. I could not easily find the info in the archives. Thanks

Ed,
Jim is right on, I seem to remember on a outing up to Deep Creek, Bernhard was down around 15psi or so and rolled a bead on one of his tires, I for one never go below 20psi and thats on stock rims, running super swamper TSL radials, though last Janurary I did roll a bead but I had 12 in the back and was comming down the upper rock stairs up on gold mountain, and it was about 20 degrees out, nothing like changing a tire in 20 degree temps with the sun going down, and my bottle jack being down.

20 PSI seems to be a relatively safe pressure.NC_Mog wrote:All good advice. I stick with 20 psi as a minimum on stock rims with radial Swamper Trxus tires.
A couple of years ago, I needed to get my truck in the garage and dropped the pressure down to 10 PSI to move forward in a straight line for about 15 feet. Popped TWO beads moving 15 feet.
I used to air-down the BFG MT's (255-85's) with tubes to 16 psi in the bush, without any problems.....below that and you'd push them off the rims.
Now with bealocks 8 psi isn't a problem!

That just means you now have to go and find some tougher tracks!on John Bull and Gold Mountain and had the pressure at 23. Had no problems

Michael,
I've done the air down to get into the garage too, took all 6 down to less than 3, I think, well the tire guage didnt register any pressure at all, drove in and my antenna mount cleared the opening by 1/4 inch, I did refill all tires to about 25psi while I left it in the garage while on a 3 week vacation, got home aired down again and backed out, never lost a bead, probably the stronger sidewalls on my super swampers, who knows.
