Lowest air pressure for a Maxxis bighorn

[Mudder]

I have a set of 4 Maxxis bighorns, what I'm wondering is as anyone be able to run this under 15 psi? they're 31x10.50x15 wit a 6 ply rating. I don't want to pop the tire if I go to low. So do you guys think it'd also be safe to even go that low for mudding were I might hit sharp sticks/ and or rocks? Any input is helpful

Hi all,

Do you mean these tires? http://www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-12-104-bighorn-mt-762

What width wheels are these tires on?

Hi all,

You will be fine lowering the air pressure in these tires to 15 PSI, but I would hesitate to go much lower without bead lock wheels.

You should be fine with your '89 Mini at 15 psi with the Bighorns. I've run mine on my '81 Mini at 10-12 psi. (Dry normal wheeling in rocks and dirt.) Can't speak for airing down that far for serious mud. You might end up with some mud inside your tires, so ask your buddies that you'll be wheeling with. As far as puncture resistance - airing down your tires seems to make tires more resistant to damage. Think of how difficult it is to pop a half filled balloon - compared to one that's fully inflated. Let the rubber flex...

Had mine down to 4psi no issues
