BFG All Terrain Off Road Pressure

So on the street I run about 35-40psi, what pressure should I run for moderate off-road, rocky terrain?

Thanks,

Are you not bouncing all over the place with the pressure that high on the street? Assuming they are Load Range E.

I had MTZs in Load Range E and I had them at 30-32 in order for the ride quality to be decent - the chalk test proved they were only slightly underinflated so I just went with it and they lasted 40k+.

I'd like to know the offroading pressure too. I'm running bfg a/ts load range e at 36psi front/34 back. I was under the impression too low a pressure could cause sidewall damage since these sidwalls are so thick. Is that a real concern for the amount of time the pressure would be dropped while offroading with the e rated tires?

 

Ben answered the question - 12-20psi is ideal.

As long as you are smart about it, you won't hurt anything.

The idea that a thicker sidewall is more prone to damage when underinflated doesn't seem to make much sense to me, but I have no proof to back my suspicion.

Yes, they are the load range E and I watch them pretty close and between 35-40 seems to be the best compromise between wear and ride.

Thanks for the off-road prussure guideline. I've always run mine off road much higher than that. I'll probably start around 15-18 and go from there.
