You'd think by now I'd have this info on hand

If I blow a bead down there who should I call?

Thanks guys/girls....

very good question, I have no clue.

Hmmmmmm, would be great to have a "Site Supporter" or member in the towing/repair BIZZ

[Charkbait]

There is no one that I know of, they will murder you on the price as well. Heard of a $700 6 mile tow a month or two back.

they charge what ever they want......so be prepared......

Hmmmmm: "Atlantic Anglers Towing and Recovery Service"
24hr beach towing service available, vehicles in surf recovery, flats fixxed plus other automotive repairs:glasses10:

sounds like a good business venture to-me

Maybe I'll just try real real low next time....rather than super duper low as I had planned......

Gonna shed the front track as well (it's a monster) until I get the tires and rims I need for this thing.....

I'm letting the air out of my tires now....send em up to Jersey

[Steve]

As a general rule, let out about 60% of your normal operating pressure, not the max listed pressure, unless you have a lighter vehicle and operate at that pressure anyway.
At 5000 lbs for my front, I air down to 25, and 3000 for the rear I air down to 20 lbs.

Keys to not blowing a bead is to not let the rig bounce up and down in the washboards and not turn sharp and fast.

Thanks Steve good info......

I have the factory E rated tires on my truck and I'm very disappointed with it on the sand....I've had all four down to 23 and it still feels like I'm sticking the nose...I think the camper will help that (even out the weight)but it went back to the factory before I even got a chance to put it on the sand....

I've been using my Jeep again in Jersey....

Waiting for news on the camper before I buy differnt tires for the truck.....

[Steve]

If you are running anything less than ten inches of tread and have 5 tons or more on board, you can easily stick the nose.

Oh I'll be at that number with the camper....and as per the OSRV rules there I'll leave it at that.....

I'm considering 305-70/R17 GoodYear MTs...they are D rated and 33.7 inches tall...12 inches wide...

They are rated at 3k....my camper loaded is probably 3300 (rated 2400 empty) so I should be ok with the D's and they will allow me to soften em up good for the sand........

Any thoughts?...

Don't be afraid to say I'm nuts because my wife is already ready to shoot me...if I buy these (not cheap) and they don't work I could be out on the street selling pencils
