Airing down for soft sand, here’s what I run.
Some Jersey beaches have really soft sand, so letting air out of your tires is key for traction. The right pressure depends on tire size and how heavy your rig is. I run 15 to 19 psi in my van.
Some call it overkill, but it comes from experience. You’ll know fast if you’re not getting traction, so air down.
The beaches we drive have inflators to air back up. Out in the middle of nowhere, an ARB compressor is clutch.
