4x4 Tire Pressure on the Beach
This season will be my first time with my truck on the beach at Race Point.
Is 15 PSI inflation for the tires a safe to be to prevent breaking of the bead
on the tires?

Your safe at 15...what are you running for a buggy?
I drive an F150, I usually run between 10 and 12 #, less wear and tear on the truck.

Thanks Everone for the Input!
I have a Frontier and I will start at 11PSI and look into portable compressors.

I see lots of portable compressors on ebay for peanuts. Any idea how good a $10 compressor is?  |

You really need to run at 12 psi or lower (10 psi). You won't break the bead. When you hit the pavement by the ranger's station and the air-up station, take the truck out of 4-wheel drive and make wide turns so you don't squeegy the tires.
If you run at 15 psi or higher, you'll rut the tracks on the hills and drive the rest of us crazy! |
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

My F-250 has E rated 8 ply tires . Real stiff sidewalls. So I start at 10lbs. I've been as low as 4lbs. Yep, I was scared of rolling a tire off the rim, but I was more afraid of being stuck in a cut with the incoming tide. I would only go that low again in an emergengy. I haven't rolled a tire yet ( knock wood). 15 lbs with those tires is a real workout for the truck. Low and Slow.
