‘14 Grand Cherokee 275/65/18 went out yesterday to a place we’ve been going for the last 10yrs for plinking and never had a 4wd vehicle before this. And aired down for the first time ever to 25psi made it up a hill I tried last weekend and couldn’t make it at 38psi. Didn’t have the means to air down our back up last weekend and this weekend I was prepared. It made a world of difference with just a 13psi drop. And the washboard road and “high clearance 4x4” road were so much more comfortable. Will try 20psi next time.

Wow this was super helpful. New offroader here. I got a Ford Bronco Wildtrak 2022 35s. the driver's doors calls for 40PSI on road, I run 38psi for a more confortable ride. on the trails I go down to 20-22 psi. sometimes 18psi is the lowest I go. I do mud ruts mostly and some baja fast speeds. I am interested to see what yall thnk about those pressures. I am pretty new. I run the VIAIR 400P - 40045 for inflating the tires. I love it. I love the ARB505 deflator and it works great and fast.
@OverlandBound Жыл бұрын
Hey, I’m glad the video was helpful. If you were doing Baja speeds, it kind of depends if you are confident it is mostly sand you can air down more in the teens. If there’s a chance you’re going to hit a rock I would not want to be air down that low because you could damage a wheel or slip a tire. For mud go as low as you’re confident with if your wheels are untested and you don’t know how well they hold a tire at low pressures be conservative.

KO2 for long trips with lots of highway driving, such as Dempster Highway, White Rim, or Continental Divide trails. Typically18 to 22 psi. Cooper Discoverer STT Pro for technical trails such as Kokopelli (we live in Moab). Typically 18 psi or a bit less. Seldom less than 15 psi, but may go lower after watching this video.

If I know I’m going to put in 500 road miles, I’ll run closer to 40psi. If I’m just going to drive around and explore I’ll go closer to 35 for comfort. *I usually don’t air down for a gravel road 22 is go to on any trail that’ll be longer than a few minutes (which is exactly what you run Michael)

Pro Tip for OVERLAND touring on long corrugated dirt tracks (as opposed to rock crawling/sand); stop every now and again and immediately get out and put your hand on the sidewalls of the tire. If it's too hot to keep your hand on, your pressure is too low. The heat will destroy the tire casing and it will, repeat: will, come apart on you eventually. Maybe not that minute or even that day or week. But when it lets go it will be total failure with no warning. That can be especially dangerous if you are back on the highway going at cruising speed when it decides to unglue. Happy trails!

@OverlandBound4 жыл бұрын
You have to be super careful with van loads that typically run high tire pressure for at least a couple reasons. Larger heavier vans with the relatively smaller tires will quickly react to airing down and the lateral sway can be exaggerated. I’d watch the “bulge” around the bottom of the tire, keep it conservative and run some mild trail. Start with a little. Your 20 psi is probably a ok start. May as well start with 10.

Another important consideration for airing down is overheating your tires and blowing one when driving too fast for too long. When the tire is aired down and the sidewall is flexing out, the tire is absorbing bumps and energy that, in a fully-inflated tire, is normally transferred to the suspension. Energy equals heat. Going fast on bumpy or corrugated roads for long stretches with your tires aired down really low can overheat them and blow out the sidewall. I know, 'cause I've seen it, and I've done it.

33×12.5R15 BFG mud terrain on 92 Wrangler running 12 to 14 psi. Could go lower to around 10 on rocky trails to smooth the ride.
I have a set of the Coyote deflators, they work great. I am running 285-70 17 Falken Wildpeak AT3-W on a 2016 4Runner. I set my deflators for 18 psi and so far I haven't found a need to go lower, but I do need to experiment. The first time I aired down I was secretly embarrassed that I hadn't done it before. Such a difference, not only in grip but in ride comfort, especially on washboard.

question, what about wet, muddy trails with deep (1-2ft) water holes?

Very good and informative, thank you. "Did you get the rocky road?!" ...😂.. great to know about those deflators, will check them out. ... am running 215/75r15 Yokohama Geolandar go15's on method 502vspec's.. will air down to 18 for beach sand and soot. Otherwise I'm always at 33... 🙏🏼👊🏼🤙🏼

Thanks for the videos... K5 Blazer running Milestar Patagonia MT 35x12.50 17 on H2 factory wheels. Have run down to 13 psi rock crawling (these wheels hold the bead pretty good), but was pretty sketch without bead-locks. It's a heavy truck and with about 300lbs in tools/recovery gear/fridge I run 15-18 lbs for trails and rock crawling. That works amazing for me due to the weight of my rig. If really sandy, I'll drop a little more temporarily. I recently purchased a power tank (total convenience and luxury) but also have a built in compressor which I'll keep as a backup.
