Tire Pressure: How low is to low???
ok well i searched and couldnt really find an answer to this, im trying to figure out how low i can run my tires (if i had to) on the beach, ive got 33x12.5x15 nitto terra grapplers and 15x8 rims, i couldnt find anything on the tire itself nor anywhere else i searched, i run regularly about 30 psi when im on the road and i just want to know how low i could go without having it come off the bead or cause any other kind of problems........

Yes a 8" rim will hold a bead better. As for how low you can go there is alot of factors, weight of truck, type of wheeling you are doing and how you drive. I tend to go on the low side 8 to 10 psi and just chance it, in the sand I have even went as low as 5 psi. For most offroading 12 to 15 will be fine and safe as long as your not trying to drive your truck like a sports car.

Safe with 10psi for sure. My BFG A/T's say they can be aired down to 10psi for maximum sand traction. The triple ply sidewalls help too.
