Default Lowest preasure without beadlocks?
I'm Running 20x10 wheels with 40x15.5 toyo mt's. Without a beadlock, what is the lowest psi I can run withount losing a bead? Thanks in advance.

being that you're running 40x15.50 toyo's on 10" wide wheels, i personally would be willing to run them at about 10 psi. still, without bead locks, you can roll a bead given the right circumstances.

will a lesser tire, i probably wouldn't go lower but, the toyo's have really thick sidewalls and it'll hold up to the lower psi better.

I run my 37 toyos at 9-10 psi. No problems so far. As Wol said the sidewalls are stiff and you have to air low to get some flex out of them.

Keep in mind that you can still spin the tire on the wheel at that pressure pretty easily thus throwing off the balance. I would mark the tire and rim so you can tell after a trip.
