Rickson wheels for sand duners

[Deleted member 995608]

Can the heavier tires used for Rickson's be aired down in order to flatten em' out? We spend a lot of time at the Pismo Dunes riding quads but in-order to get the toyhauler there we have to air down to 15/20 psi. Anyone?

To my limited knowledge, there ain't too many (as in NONE) 19. 5 wheels/tires out there that are conducive to airing down that low. My Hankook DH01s can't be aired below 65 psi safely, i. e. w/o damage to the tire. the rim, of course, is pretty much not at risk -- only the tires. This is one big disadvantage with 19. 5s... .

At Sand speeds you won't have to worry about tire or wheel damage but the sidewalls are so stiff you wont see much deflection

I thought I read on Rickson's website the 19. 5's don't perform well on sand.

Its right on Rickson's site that the don't recommend using their wheel and tire combinations on sand. They state that their tires and wheels are the best product to get you to the sand, but not on to it.
