[QUOTE="pbtjrlmrt, post: 1442011, member: 31858"] This topic is a little like "what brand oil is best"...LOL There are so many variables...GVW, Road conditions, Driving style/speed, etc, etc. People have run an empty truck on sand as low as 8-10lbs with no issue. Don't do any quick turns though:) It really comes down to the specific conditions you're travelling in and how the truck is loaded. There is a lot of good info on this site and internet in general. My personal and only for me rule of thumb is 10-20 on sand depending on the type of sand. 20-25 on gravel washboard type stuff. 15-25 rock crawling depending how severe the trail is. I run my empty truck at 38 on the road for fuel mileage and so I don't need to worry about vehicle weighting as 38lbs is the manufacture suggested pressure based on GVW and towing capabilities. On Road if you're a perfectionist you can do the chalk test to find that sweet spot for tire longevity. Lower pressure on road below 38 can provide comfort but be aware of how the vehicle is loaded.
