BFG A/T 30' - about tyre pressure

Post by AllTerrain »

I've recently fitted BFG A/T on my Raider IFS.

What is the recommended pressure for driving in sand. I've heard a lot of comments about the tyre slipping off the beading etc...

I'm used to Bridgestone Dueller AT which can run in the sand at a very low pressure (I think the last time I went to 0.9 BAR), however I'm cogniscent of the fact that BFG is a very good all rounder..

Can anyone please advise?

Thanks

What he said :thumbup: I went as low as 0.5 on mine when driving some dunes, but no fast cornering at that low pressure. :lol:
