Hi,
When people say to lower tyre pressure for sand, I get why, but what is 'low'?
I usually put 31 psi (2.1 bar) in my Uniroyal Rallye 4x4 streets
20 psi?
15 psi?
25 psi?
I know not to drive on tarmac at lower pressures
I also read that knobbly tread isnt good on sand so my Uniroyals might be OK?
I'm not going to drive on the beach here, just on sandy tracks with some very sandy patches
The first track I intend to try is one I did by mistake over 25 years ago in my 1971 VW camper that I had put a VW Porsche engine in (with dual carbs, not injection). I started down it and it got worse and worse with no turning possibility so I just kept momentum up as much as possible whilst also trying to spend as much time on the seat as possible, and made it OK (and got back too).
Or will I destroy my tyres?
Cheers
