So I got a deal on a set of used 36x13.5x20s with almost new super swamper iroks, the rims are 20x8.5. I'm thinking 8psi in the snow

man alot people wouldnt air down 37s on 15 inch rims past 8 psi and that has a huge amount of sidewall. 20s are a terrible choice for offroading. 12 psi may even be too low, but the wide tire on a thin rim aids it. It doesnt take much to bust a bead at low pressures especially with weight and if the tire is turned.

okay pictures help out alot. I hadn'tseen 37s on 20s in about a week or so haha. There definitely is not alot of sidewall. My 12 psi recommendation is soley based on thr fact that the tire is wide and the rim is thin. However, i would lean more on the 15 psi side if it were mine.
