Air down before driving on beach?

If you're on hard pack sand, no need to air down so much. But on loose sand, I air down to about 15 lbs for floatation and comfort. Otherwise ride is too choppy.

I think it really depends on the sand like others have said. By me on Long Island, the sand is VERY loose. I neglected to air down one and it was a mistake as I could smell the tranny starting to get very upset with me. No "Hot Oil" light but I am sure it was only a matter of time. I have a new VIAIR compressor now. I am ready to go!
