Terrain Tire Pressure Guides

Every surface demands different pressure. Select your terrain for detailed PSI recommendations and tips.

Gravel & Graded Dirt

16-28 PSI (varies by vehicle weight) (standard wheels)

The most common off-road surface. Airing down on gravel and graded dirt roads transforms the ride from jarring to smooth, especially on washboard sect

Rock Crawling

12-22 PSI (lower for lighter rigs) (standard wheels)

Rock crawling demands maximum traction and tire conformity. Lower pressures let your tires wrap around obstacles instead of bouncing off them.

Sand & Dunes

10-18 PSI (lower = more flotation) (standard wheels)

Sand requires the lowest pressures for most drivers. The goal is to float on top rather than dig in. A wider contact patch distributes your vehicle's

Mud

16-24 PSI (moderate reduction) (standard wheels)

Mud is counterintuitive -- you don't want to go as low as sand or rock. A moderately aired-down tire with aggressive tread will self-clean better than

Snow & Ice

18-26 PSI (aim to float) (standard wheels)

Snow driving follows similar principles to sand -- you want to float on the surface. But ice and packed snow require enough pressure for the tire's si
