    i have run as low as 8 on some really stiff grabbers.. on typicall agressive all terrains i will run as low as 12 psi... for stockers though, start at 20 and go down to 15 if you feel you need more traction...

    just be careful making sharp turns at high speeds, you can pop the beed and if you dont flip the truck you will spend the next 30+ mi swapping in your spare... if that does happen (unlikely) just counter steer hard, you should be fine..

    It depends on the tire. Some will take 5 withno issue, others you want to stop around 15.
