Nearly everyone i go out with, although a few of us do it more for comfort than grip at times

Yep i's with Matt always air down..

33 inch Muddies
mid 30's on road cold temp
Low 20's dirt
18 for rocks
15 sand

Huge difference in comfort for those that dont or are new to 4wdin & a bid difference in grip as well..

yeah alway s knew that its heaps better for grip but as i often find myself out alone i ve always left them up as its another way of trying to recover yourself ie try lowering them to get out when all else fails lol moral of the story is i gues i really need to find other s to go out with

Great post, bit of extra info for me to chew on. I'm upgrading my rubber to either 235x85r16 or 255x85r16, they work out to stand a smidge under 31.75" and a smidge over 33". Undecided which size at this stage, I'm leaning more to the 235x85R16 because a) less mucking around to get them to fit properly without scrubbing and, b) whole lot more variety. The best bit is they will be a bit lighter and a less stress for the the front end of big red

Well done. And thanks for that.
