Tire Pressure & Maintenance
Get Ready for the Sand!
What tire pressure should I use for beach driving?
For optimal beach driving, it's recommended to lower your tire pressure to around 18-20 PSI. This helps increase the tire's surface area, providing better traction on soft sand.
Why do I need to air down my tires and how low should I go?
Airing down your tires reduces the risk of getting stuck in the sand by allowing the tires to flex and conform to the terrain. Aim for a pressure of 18 PSI for deep sand, but never go below 10 PSI to avoid tire damage.
What's the recommended tire pressure range for deep sand?
The ideal tire pressure for deep sand typically falls between 18-20 PSI. This range provides a balance between traction and tire integrity, ensuring a smooth ride over sandy surfaces.
Tips for Maintaining Tire Pressure
Regularly check your tire pressure before heading out. Use a reliable gauge and adjust as needed to ensure a safe and enjoyable beach driving experience.
