Funny you should mention that, because how much to air down was a big question for me. I started off a 30psi. I then was at the very location at the top of this page(page 2) I started to lose traction going over that hump and the weight of the H2 made it start to slide down and sideways(gravity. I then tried to take the pass around to the right of it which was also very muddy and I slide sideways into the woods. My friend said my tires weren't unloading the mud and that I should let some more air out. At that moment I could only do the drivers side because the passanger side was right up to the brush. I went down to 20psi which definately gave the tires some flex. As I tried to get out of my predicament I got some better traction but I also started to get pulled left. On the left after that hump is a big trench a little wider than the H2 and about 30" deep at the low point. Well I wound up sliding into the trench sideways. It was really hairy I thought for a second I might roll. As the H2 slid in, it hit the far wall of the trench and the rear tire got knocked off the rim. After a lot of winching I got to flat ground and changed the tire. I was afraid that I had the air too low at 20psi and that was why I lost the tire. So then I made all the tires a unifor 24psi and did much better. Couldn't get out of that mud hole but I don't think less air would have made that much of a difference. Because of the H2's weight I think anything less may be flirting with disaster.
