Re: When to air down?

We were down to 15 psi when driving around the desert (sand and rock) and at 22 psi when I did hard packed trails in the foothills. Airing down does all those things described above. The 2 biggest things I was warned about were having to drive slower with tires aired down and looking for any kind of creasing or folding of the tire in the side walls. If the tires are creasing or folding you need to put air back in. Another thing to consider is how to re-inflate the tires. The small little air compressors that plug into the 12 volt plug on the dash probably wont be able to inflate 4 tires without burning up or it will take quite a while to do it. You can drive paved streets to a gas station as long as you drive slow and its not too far.
