The cheapest, fastest way to improve your off-road performance isn't a lift kit or lockers -- it's your tire pressure.
| Terrain | Suggested PSI | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gravel & Graded Dirt | 16-28 PSI (varies by vehicle weight) | Start modest. 22-28 PSI for heavier rigs. Keep speeds smooth to reduce heat buil... |
| Rock Crawling | 12-22 PSI (lower for lighter rigs) | Lower gradually until wheelspin calms. The tire should visibly bulge at the cont... |
| Sand & Dunes | 10-18 PSI (lower = more flotation) | Flotation is everything. Maintain steady momentum -- avoid sharp turns at very l... |
| Mud | 16-24 PSI (moderate reduction) | Moderate PSI helps the tread self-clean. Too low can create suction that bogs yo... |
| Snow & Ice | 18-26 PSI (aim to float) | Similar approach to sand -- aim to float, not dig. On packed snow or ice, a touc... |
