air down 8\" vs. 10\"

Hallo to you all.
My question is with which combination can I pressure down more air,The tire is 35".12.5".15":
With 8" wheel
or with 10" wheel
or maybe they are the same?

With an 8" you can go down to single digit pressures, with a 10" you can pop the beed much faster even at 15PSI.
I got my 35/12.50/15 on 7" rims.
No way I am poping a bead here. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

you would be safer with the 8's. But part of airing down is experamenting. Some tires will fold under themself when aired down to far.

Go with 8" if you plan on airing down all the time. If you plan on spending a lot of time in the sand definitely go with 8". I've been out in the sand with someone in a K5 and they were always peeling tires off the rim with 33" bias ply on 15x8 and 10-11psi in them. A 10" wheel would've been unbearable.

waht about a 10 inch rim with a 15.50 tire? will that hold like a 12.50 and a 8 inch rim?

Yes basically try and go smaller than the width of the tread and you should be better off.
I personnally would go the narrowest wheel I can fit the tire in.
