depends on the terrain your driving and the tyres you have though

I'll often run 3 on the beach. Any more and I'll struggle on the bigger dunes.
I can fully remove the valve core and still be 100% driveable. The silverstones really are that stiff.

its something you really need to figure out yourself.
it depends on tyre size , radial or bais ply and what you intend to drive and how fast.
10 -14 might be a safe starting place offroad, and go down from there if your not happy with the traction your getting

31x10.5 BFG KM2 - rocks - 10psi all round, bags out HEAPS - enough that i let all the air out of a rear tyre because it was so deformed on a rock.

31x10.5 Simex ET - rocks - 5psi, hardly bagged out at all.

In my GV I have 10 ply-rated tyres so on dirt 16psi, sand 10psi. Even then it doesn't bag very much. I think I could run down to 5psi if I was careful with my steering.

30" cooper stt's on my coily, 5-10 on the beach 10-12 most other places and 25 on the road seems to work well for me.

9-10 for high speed bumpy roads, 6lbs for crawling (BFG/MT 33x12.50's)

Although usually at the end of the run I only have 2lbs left and bark in the bead :rofl:

30psi is way to much, i dont run that in my GV, at 30psi in a Sierra it must rattle the teeth in your mouth its so hard

22 to 24psi is all you need in a Sierra for road... 10 psi is good for offroad... :wink:

I have Maxxis 6ply LT AT's on my GV, and i find the sidewalls a bit stiff, i normally go down to 14psi for everything, but on my last sand trip, i didnt get bogged and it didnt struggle at all, but i think i would have got further if i was down to 11 or 12psi, so will try that next time, because of the stiffer sidewall... :wink:

Yeah on the road I run like 22 in the front max, and like 20-18 in the rear unless I am carrying a load.

I keep the front a little higher because of engine weight, and I like a stiffer sidewall for cornering on the road.

I was used to big cars and 35 psi all the time, but found that even 2 will knock my teeth out in the Sierra.

I run the 6-8 Lbs off road because of the terrain we have here. We have slippery rocks embedded in dirt that has a 2" layer of slimy sticky mud. \
