Default lower tire pressure

iam going to hit up a nother canyon thursday and i was wondering if i lower my tire pressure will i get more traction or will i just kill the tread? right now its 35-36 all around iam thinking 31-32 psi all around has any1 done something like this. ya my can is still bone stock.


thanks rory

you should get better traction around 31 32 or so

i think the only thing it hurts is mpg

What you will do is heat the tire (less tire pressure - more heat) and possibly ride on the sidewalls.

35-36psi is fine but you can go lower safely if you wish. You could always set to 32psi cold, as you drive it will end up at 35-36 depending on how hard you drive.
