Slow?

Agreed. Unfortunately, I average a couple of fire and/or rescue runs a day during the summer. Once the adrenaline gets going it's probably better to have air in the tires. Can't imagine the abuse I'd get for rolling off the rims and putting it in a ditch on a rescue run...

A general rule of thumb is to air up ASAP no matter what kind of sled you have. Driving on low tires increases the chance of getting a flat, wears out the tread about 10 times faster causing you to buy new tires, and also is brutal on gas. Tire deflators are key! Not only do they save time, your back and knees don't take a beating.

What deflators do you guys like? Did a quick search and the Staun look pretty good. Not sure I want to get into an elaborate installation. Especially out here where service is virtually non-existant if you have a problem.

staun works for me. put them on- air down, and take them off. so much easier then fumbling around in the dark w/ a gauge.

Oasis Trailhead Deflators are good as well - set them to any pressure, screw them on and let them do the work.
