Stupid Question: Can I air down my 'E' rated tires?

Dakine879 · Feb 21, 2020

Hello, after going out this winter on more back roads, and seeing folks recommend air their tires down to like 10psi in deep snow, can I air down my BFG A/T 2 'E' rated to 15 psi without damaging them? I was not sure with the extra couple plies of steel in the 'E' tires.

I'm obviously not that knowledgeable about tires ha ha...

thanks

Bigger the size the more you can air down .
I never run more then 55 psi in my Dmax
My 1/2 ton is 35psi

You can air down the tires as low as you want in snow and slow conditions. Run then all day long as long as the face of the tire is square to the pavement and no excessive sidewall bulge that will build heat. Normally the rears can be set much lower than the front if you are empty. Generally, low PSI will not get you the best fuel mileage.

I run 55 psi at all 4 wheels with my dmax 3500hd

And air up if towing something heavy
