When ya got it down to feel ... the next step is "eyeballing" it ... :biggrin::biggrin:

Always amazed they used to use horses and wagons ... try letting the air out of one of those wheels ... tough bunch

I recommend 18-22 PSI for riding the sand. Less, and you may get a bead break, more, and you dig in. Adjustable deflators can be purchased at Desert Rat as well as high flow pumps that clamp on your battery. Best of luck!! :D

Here are a couple of battery operated digital tire pressure gauges. They are getting good reviews and are only around $12.

Hmmmm

I use the valve caps with a core removal tool built in. Removes the air probably ten times faster than pushing the valve BUT you better not lose that core! Haven`t lost one yet but I always have a pack of spares in the glove box. My tires lose about 1 psi per second with no core so I just count as its airing down. For airing up a scuba tank is faster than any gas station and no 12 volt compressor even comes close. It`s a little less than 1 psi per second for my stock Tundra tires so 15-20 seconds per tire. And for this size tire it takes about 10 psi out of the tank for 1 psi into the tire so a full 3000 psi tank will do MANY refills. I don`t have a SCUBA card and have never been asked for one in Baja.
