Tire pressure that is for wheeling.
I currently have my tire-deflaters set at 10 and will be wheeling in the local mountains tomorrow. Im running 33x12.5 Interco TrXus. I just dont want to pop a bead but yet, I need a pretty smooth ride cuz my wife has a pinched nerve in her leg and I dont want to aggravate it

Thanks
 
i picked 8-12..
At pismo in the sand dunes i run my 35x12.50x15's at 8psi.
It the rocks and on the trails at hollister i didn't have too much trouble at street pressure.
 
i usually go down to 5, but have been down to 2.
at 5 my tires still dont bulge till i go over something
 
I run 15 on the street and go down till the generic tire guage won't read pressure for playing. The boggers barely bulge at that point until your on some rocks.
 
I like about 12... but if I have to go at highway speeds I won't go less than 16/14 f/r so that's why I chose the "15-18" option.
 
I keep my swampers at 20 PSI for everything, and my General Grabber MT's at 35 PSI for everything.... otherwise they will fall off of my wheels (16.5)
 
my bfg's i ran at 8 and 5. we ran our 16.5's as low was 7 at the coast with no beads popping. My 16.5's I'll run just as low (cybrfire beadlocks) /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif
 
8-12 just remember that your running low pressure and try to avoid things that will pop the bead off eg. sidewall impacts. I run 11 front and 10 rear on my iroks. Any more than that and you won't really achieve that softer ride you are looking for.
 
Last time I was out I tried 11 psi, worked great, no blowing beads with 15s. Beadlocks to come soon. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
