Depends IMO, I like to run about 15psi and go from there. Every psi you drop down from there makes a big difference though. Lighter cars sometimes have to run a lower psi to get their wheel to bag out, where as a heavier car won't have to go down as low to get the same bag out effect. Anywhere from 14-18psi you should be pretty right.
Anyone know where I can buy jeep side steps, heard there is a place in the America that does chaps shipping. There is a place in Perth but not much on the website. Can't call them as I am currently at sea
The best thing to do is play around with the tyre pressures and see if u notice much of a difference. I used to run 18psi front and 16psi rear when the tray was empty, if it had a half decent load i would leave the rear at 18psi. Generally, the larger ur rim (lower tyre profile) requires a lower pressure to actually get any ballooning effect from the sidewalls. So all these luxury 4wds like jeeps that have 17 and 18" rims are really more of a soft roader than an offroader...that doesnt mean theyre incapable tho. Just not as capable as the more common 4wds like hiluxs and rangers.

Keeps you from doing the lawn
Like the add on TV shows, keeps you from mowing the bloody lawn every second week.

You will learn
Shane O. I have done a lot of beach driving. I would suggest 20 psi as a starting point.....
you will know when to deflate your tyres more either because your 4wd is working hard maybe wheels spinning
or when you look in your mirror you will have churned the tracks up. I like to think that i am wheelrolling
the track everytime i travel it.....I rarely try to travel fast on the beach staying in nd or 3rd gear unless it is super hard and flat
as it just cuts the tracks up making corrogations. I loathe the knobs that do fang along the beach and into the DUNES (Don't get me started )
In my old 4x4 I have been down as far as 8 psi to get through some serious boggy sections
of a beach. Pressures that low require that you re inflate before going far once off the soft stuff...
..ie the rough rocky track away from the beach.
