What is the safest PSI to air down to on NON-Beadlock wheels?

I’ve heard going down to 10
Psi is your limit. Maybe take it to 15 and see how the off-roading is or start with 20. I’ve done 20 on my KO2’s off-roading…the tires stayed on the rims and the type of off-roading I was doing, I didn’t get stuck. I’m running 34” though.

I usually air down to around 10-12 and I've never popped a bead yet. I'm not too comfortable going below 10 without beadlocks but I would imagine you could hit 8 OK out in the sand if you didn't do a lot of tire spinning and full throttle stuff. Depends on the tires though. If you have stiff mud tire side walls, you can go much lower than if you have soft sidewall all-terrain or highway tires.

My scrambler on 35s I run about 15 without issue. So far, and a couple times they were to soft. My gladiator I have yet to go below 20 or 25 in the stock tires and will likely not take the 37s below 20 or so. Really don't see much benefit to going lower than that. Of course if you are super heavy with rac k s and rtts and elaborate cooking crap etc, I'd probably say25 and adjust for blow sand or as needed
