Why would you air down to ride along on a scenic road? That's more trouble than it's worth. Oh yeah, you like to use that comprehension thing don't you. Well I'll quote.

See, you are hung up on you. You are hung up on running on gravel roads and airing down so it's not as bumpy.
The thread was about what to air down to in Moab where REAL trail riding will be had, not your redefined idea of trail riding. That's really funny, "hey, why don't you air down to 12 psi in Moab because when I drive on gravel roads I can assure you I won't pop a bead"

Ya, a fullsize tow rig isn't really equipped to run challenging trails. I gave the example to illustrate that an even HEAVIER rig than an H3 can run 12 psi with similar tires/wheels and have no problems. If you think there are more than a handful of H3s out there running harder trails than Poughkeepsie....your experience is much different than mine and the pics in this thread support my POV.
Oh, you want Moab trails.....sorry, I can give you some specs on a 4500 lb 4Runner I had....35x15.5 SXs on 15" wheels, no beadlocks 12 psi.....That was way back when though. I've got video and I think I've got actual photos, but no scanner.
I've got plenty of pics from Moab with a truggie on 38s with beadlocks.....not really helpful though since it was locked.
Want those pics instead? Just say so.
I've got Upper Helldorado pics, Pritchett Canyon, and Hell's Revenge....btw, those are all easy as pie compared to AZ trails. Upper Hell's the only one that's really on par with the stuff here.
So, that 15% was the crux of your whole argument? Hmmm.....seems to me the guy that posted about different terrains requiring different pressures had it right but you know all.
