A little help please

I have a 2017 Limited With 265/60r18 Hankook dynapro ATM. I’m gonna be off-road in some sand dunes this weekend and I would like to know what I should air down my tires to being I have 18 inch rims.

 

I would suggest at the lowest 20psi. That way you have less chance of popping off a bead.

 

What load range is it? Generally, I air down to 18-20 (load range C) A heavier load range tire such as a D or E will tolerate a little less pressure. Be aware, your tire pressure warning will go off at 20 psi IIRC. That tire has a fairly short sidewall, so lengthening the contact patch by airing down will help a little. Make sure you can air back up before getting back on the road, and have some way (traction boards, shovel, strap, et. al.) of getting yourself unstuck.

 

20 is usually the consensus

 

Not sure on the load range. I’ll check when I get out of work.

 

My load rating is 110 T

 

My research indicates this is equivalent to a load range C

 

Your load rating is SL

 

What does that mean exactly?

 

SL means standard load and it's a 4 ply tire. Next up is C then E they more ply and can handle more load. Search the forum there's a TON of info! But to answer your original question. 20 PSI!

 

Thanks everyone!
