Off Roading?

Question

Lowering a 4 x 4 vehicle's tire pressure has what primary advantage when off roading?

Answer 1

in sand you get more floatation,in rock crawling you get more grip and flex around obstacle's,in mud you want to keep the pressure up to help with bite and tread cleaning
You can vary pressure to where it works best for your wheeling .we use 10 to 15 psi for most of our driving,on the more tree and rock trails we us15 to 20 psi and around 25 psi in the mud
have fun

Answer 2

it ultimenty allows more traction. if you ar in mud or sand, lowering the pressure makes you tire wider so there is more surface area, therefore holding the vehicle up. if you drive over a rock, then have the pressure lowered will make the tire roll up over it way easier.

Answer 3

simply put, it gives the tire a bigger foot print for more traction and also less bouncing cause a lower tire takes more of the shock than the shocks will.

Answer 4

the vehicle do not bounce at much.
a better choice is to put water inside the tire..sort of two gallons 30% of the tire inside volume

Answer 5

TRACTION!!!! increases suface area of the contact patch of tire

Answer 6

more traction
