Every time I go wheeling I air down to 12 PSI I use my ARB Deflator Part# ARB505
If you plan on Airing down often a good deflator, I would also look at a more aggressive tire if I was you cause those dont look like they will take you very far !

12 psi should be about right, and the tires will do ok for rocks and sand, but suck in mud. If the tires are D or E rated they may need to be aired down a little lower say like to 9 or 10 psi.

How much should my 31 inch TSL Super Swampers normally be at ? 30 psi? And how low should I lower them when wheeling(rock crawling)?

What is the deal withall this non sence?!
If your running 33's or smaller you have no reason to lower your psi below 15. Can you go lower? Yes should you? No. Remember this is your DD not a dedicated trail rig.

Errrr, just cause you air it down doesn't mean you leave it that way. Air down for trails, air back up when you're done. I was running 12 in snow for a while, if it had been any deeper and I would've brought it down lower. Normally I air down to 15 for trails though, I'd feel safe to probably about 10. I have onboard air though so it's easy for me to air back up.
