I have Dunlop Grandtrek tires and today I was the only one to get badly stuck in the soft sand. Could be just my driving! How low should I take the tire pressure? 15 psi wasn't working for me. 10 was better, but I still didn't seem to be doing as well as everybody else.

Hi Nick, do you usually offroad at Half-moon or somehwere else? I used to offroad with the stock tires with no problems, but I got stuck many times when driving up on dunes, which is normal. 11 psi is enough just to insure the tires remain intact with the wheels. When climbing a dune/hill, shift down to L or 2 and keep your foot the gas pedal. You may move the steering right and left slightly to give the front wheels better traction.
Hi FJeddah, thanks for the advice. I'm in al Khobar and it was in the dunes near Half-moon bay that I got stuck today. I'll try the steering wheel trick. I suspect that my control of the gas pedal was lacking today. Great fun though! Looks like you have a nice rig.

My pleasure Nick Have you met any of Dammam FJC group? If not, let me know, I will ask someone to contact you there. They usually offroad every week. Good luck
