No, I dont air down my tires. I have yet to need to air them down. I have been "behind" many on the trail that aired thier down and guess what; I went everywhere they went and in some cases had better traction than they did (as in I didnt spin out and needed a second approach with more speed).
Personally (this is just MY opinion) - I think airing down tires on "hwy capable" trucks is kinda silly. As in only when you are running 37s pizza cutters on a rail car doing some serious rock crawling - and only then do you need to air your tires down. I think guys that have "state hwy inspected" trucks are just doing it becaure "the big guys do it too".
Again, I never needed to with my 2 jeeps (which I had for 8 yrs), or any of my other offroad toys. All of them had great traction (EXCELPT SLIP ROCK) and I never needed to air them down to make myself feel like a big boy on the trail.
Again, this is just my opinion.
