I just think a lot of people air down when they don't need to.
but it sure makes 45 mph on washboard a lot more comfortable . . . . . .

the drive from the pavement to the racetrack in Death Valley was brutal - no sand. go give it a try on 38 psi . . . . . . . .

i don't know what a DTS is, but driving my grandfather's scout was a hoot . . . . . . . . .

Ehh - I rarely, if ever, air down the tires for off-roading. Some obstacles may require a little more punch/momentum, but controled aggressiontowards a log, to me,is easier than airing down. That's not to say that there aren't situations that airing down would be preferable, I just think a lot of people air down when they don't need to.
True sometimes, and sometimes the opposite is true.

I'm probably more likely to air down than others, but it gives me the warm fuzzys knowing the tires are giving every bit of ground a big hug.
