    Anyone air down their stock Goodyear Kevlar tires? If so, what's a good, safe psi?

    Having enough pressure to keep the bead seated under the particular condition you are aired down in of course is key.

    Any reason you're thinking that would be a different pressure than any other tire?

    Just curious to know if they are the same toughness as a bfgko2 or wildpeak. Granted they are stock tires and haven't truly tried out the full potential of them yet.
    Didn't know if they could handle 20 psi or so.

    An E rated tire's sidewall won't flex as much as a P or C rated tire's will, so they can be safely aired down more without popping off the bead. I air my E rated STMaxx down to 14 or so in most 4x4 conditions, I personally wouldn't go under 20 with a P or C rated tire but that's me. Check the load rating on your tires but I'm betting their either P or C

    Ok sounds good. I had bfg ko2's on another truck and they were E load. That's why I was wondering if anyone had any issues with the oem Kevlar tires when airing down.

    I had no trouble with about 15-16psi but that was just on beach sand, not rock. I think 20 would be okay for most situations.
