Interesting on my 15x8" Cragar Soft Eights running 33x12:50's I hesitate going much below 15-17 psi for fear of popping one off the bead, am I too concretive perhaps?
They seem to bite well but could I be doing I do doing better, from all I have read the common psi seem to be to go to the 10 psi is using bead locks or run the very real problem of loosing a tire. Have you had any problems going with psi and how hard do you wheel, thanks for your input.
Old inquiring minds want too know lol.
I always air down to 12 psi and have never had an issue.

I carry a 20lb bottle of CO2 just in case but end up using it to air up everyone elses tires at the end of the day. I trailer mine so my tires rarely see more than 10psi even on short trips on pavement.
