Pump works great on the 31x10.5R15s on my XJ. 15 PSI to 28 or whatever I actually run on the highway in just a few minutes.
On the truck it's a different story lol. 265/75R15 on a 3/4 ton GMC, 20 PSI to 55 PSI takes a fair amount of time!

I'm on 31s now, duratracs like 15psi with the 2-ply sidewalls, wondering how long it'll take to pump them up to 33 and how much difference 33x10.50 will make in pump time.

The MV-50 is a good pump for tires. I use a VIAR 400, and a split air hose that fills two tires at once, just saves the trouble of having to air up four tires individually.

The 12:50's should work well for you. I had that size on my 88 k1500. It is a single cab and do to the heavy weight up front they helped, but not much. Even when going down to 15psi it would over heat over a short distance. Weight distribution is very important. I had 11:50's on my 84 CJ-7. At 15 psi it would easily roll in the deepest driest sand we had. I also had a 4 core radiator and that really made the difference. I could drive around all day in second gear and the temperature stayed cool.
I have the 2000 WJ now. I have no idea what size tires are on it. Some street tires I bought it with. Living in California doesn't offer the day to day opportunity we had on Kauai to drive on the sand. I have no idea what this vehicle is capable of. I haven't had it long and its had a charmed life of freeway driving and trips to the grocery store so far. I brought the Chevy truck here and it has 11:50's now. The 12:50's were shot and needed replacing. I put the smaller width on since we'd be living in asphalt land for the next 2 years at least.

That wil depend on the CFM rating, cubic feet per minute. At both zero psi and at 30psi. Many pumps show both ratings.
The MV-50 is a good pump for tires. I use a VIAR 400, and a split air hose that fills two tires at once, just saves the trouble of having to air up four tires individually.

Hell I never though of the split air hose idea I have a Viair also and when in town the next time will get the parts to do this.
Thanks for the idea!
Hey everyone just a quick question, does anybody have mud terrains and drive on the beach with them?? I have read several things that say not to drive on the beach with m/ts but I was going to be buying either the cooper discoverer stt or the general grabber red letter tires but I do a lot of beach fishing and dont want to be getting stuck all the time! Any info would be greatly appreciated, also I live in NJ and so the sand is very soft.
