Default Tire pressure for snow wheeling
I am new to snow wheeling and am wondering if a low tire pressure (like rock crawling/sand dunes) is needed or do I run my tires at normal pressure.

Lower. Make your foot print wider for better traction/ floatabilty on the snow. Dont go to low, if you lose the bead and the tire deflates it will suck! Especially if you don't have onboard air.
