Default Offroad PSI

If im running my 32" stock rubicon tires, what psi should I be running when I hit the trail. I mostly do mud, but some rocks as well.

I was going to say 20 but Jedis are usually more precise.

My son has stock Rubicon wheels/tires and he runs 17 to 20 depending on conditions.

15 psi for general offroading. 10-14 for rock crawling.

Don't go to 8 psi! LOL I now stay around 12 in the snow and 15 on the rocks with my stock rubi's.

I run 24 psi in my Toyo 35s all the time and unless the trail is pretty rocky I don't even bother to let any air out. If there is going to be a lot of rock involved then I will go ahead and air down to 12 psi.

I've run 18 psi on my stock Rubicon and have done well with that.

I run 13 psi or so on my Rubi tires. Worked great for mud, snow and rocks.

I have TOYO MT 37 13.5/17 Regularly go down to 8 psi, never lost a bead, looking at the tire, I don't want to go lower. It completely depends upon the tire. I have been at 8 psi and been fine, while on a trail where other rigs lost their bead at 12psi. Easy to fix, just jacked that corner up to relieve the weight on the tire and inflated.
