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.

I believe the the requirement there is 12psi. I always ran my Explorer at 10psi as do a lot of the people out there. Never had a problem, went anywhere. Like Karl said, the lower you go the less wear and tear on the vehicle. Just make sure you have all your equipment with you. Good luck!

The race point regs are 11 psi or lower. I follow the rules and run the ol blaze at 11. No problems. I have had to go as low as 8 to make it off in real soft stuff up some dunes and in that case you should have a small dc compressor to pump them up before you hit the tar as you will most likely blow a bead. I have done and it sucks but then again you shouldn't chase coyotes at 35 mph at 2 in the morning on 11 psi either.

Why even try.........

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?  |

If you have the better part of an hour to kill while your tires go from 8 psi to 32, they work fine.
What many folks do is use them to get the tires to something road safe, say 20 psi, and drive to a real air station to do them the rest of the way. |
