Re: 33's = increased risk of rolling off bead when aired down & at 30-35 degree + ang

Its good that you are aware and cautious in this area. Yes, you can "pop a bead" when aired down.

That is where some tires perform better than others. I'd not venture below 15lbs unless it was a tire with an exceptionally stiff sidewall (like Super Swamper tires) and I've only gone below that in certain conditions. I'd say that the 18-20lb ranges is a good to be in. Again, that all depends on the tires and your experience knowing how hard you can push them.

This is a good time to bring up the important tool to have with you...supplemental air as in a Powertank or on-board compressor...
