Trail riding tire pressure???

I have a 07 access cab 4x4 with 265/75/16 duratracs on the stock wheels. I have about 2 inches of lift which may or may not be relevant. Question is what is the safe/ low tire pressure when riding trails with mostly rocky terrain? 4x4abc.com says air down 2/3 of recommended pressure which would put me at like 10-12lbs per the door sticker??? I have usually ran 20lbs with no issues but unsure if I could/should run lower. I usually keep it around 30lbs for daily driving.

 

If you have no issues then don't go any lower, it will only increase the chance of losing a bead or damaging your sidewalls.

 

I wouldnt drop that low unless i had beadlocks are really needed to mold around rocks. You should be fine with 18-20

 

I run about 15lbs for slow stuff and 20 for faster stuff. Sometimes in the sand I'll even go to like 12-13 with the e rated lt tires.

 

I had my Duratracs aired down to 14psi this past weekend on the trail. No problems whatsoever and a nice smooth ride. To date I have never lost a bead running tires from 12-20 psi on the trail.

 

When I had a similar setup to the OP, I ran 18 on dry stuff, and 12 in the snow.

 

Hmmmm well last time I ran under 20 on the trail I blew my side wall belts... That wasnt fun...
