Off Roading Air down tires off road?

[Kilroy]

Airing down tires when off road can make a huge difference in ride and off road ability. Wondering if folks are airing down and what pressure are then running?

We used to own a 36' toy hauler that frequented Pismo Dunes in Ca. We actually camp directly in the soft sand. I'd air my tires to 15lbs front and 7-10lbs rear and bring all 6 tires on the TH to 20lbs. Got stuck occasioanlly. Never lost a bead either.

I always air down in soft sand, tire sidewall stiffness plays a huge role in how much so there will be many variances but with a 37x13.5x17 Toyo M/T Ill run about 15 front 12 rear.

I air down on off road, mostly rocky roads in CO and UT. I take my 35x12.5 TOYO AT IIs down to 25lb or so. Haven't gone lower as I'm still on stock rims and dont want to pop a bead.

I air down CJ7 tires to 8-10lbs for off road. This is with 10" aluminum wheels.

I air down my 255/80R17's to 35/25 for hunting each fall. Any lower and the sidewall gets too close to being tread and the road is nasty rocky. It makes a HUGE difference in traction and ride.

I use to run my Super Swampers as low as 7 psi on a Toyota without any bead issues, but that's a very different setup.
