So my last trip out, I blew two tires in my Xterra, ( gotta love the factory tires), When I got them all fixed up, it was suggested that I reduce the pressure in my tires to around 20 in order to get better traction and prevent blowouts. I have been tooling around the backcountry all over the place since I was a child and have never had a problem till now.
Do you drop the PSI in your tires when you head out? I am thinking I'll give it a try on my next trip, but i don't want to buy a lighter powered compressor and I don't like the idea of cruising down the road on 20 psi until I see a gas station.
