Offroad tire pressure w/ duals


We are going to use one of my shop trucks as a support truck over New Years. it's a GMC 3500 w/ dual rear wheels. Any input on tire pressures.

Route is from Tecate down Compadre Ranch Road then across the lakebed to San Felipe. Up to Mike's and back to Tecate.

Just worried about the rears rubbing on each other if I go too low.

For you're planned route, you'll probably need them down for a couple sandy spots between the Diablo dry lake and San Felipe.

I think I'd experiment with dropping the pressure as low as you can without the tires rubbing. Whatever it is, with duels you'll probably be OK.

Thanks Lou, it's all wheel drive also, just want to soften the ride. We will be passing through on 12/31/06 and would love to stop by, however leading our group is like herding cats.

We will have 8 motorcycles and 2 trucks, afraid if I can get them stopped I'll never get them moving again. We don't have reservations in San Felipe and will need time to get some rooms.
