Sand Driving Sand Driving is fantastic fun but if you dont know the procedures it can turn into a nightmare..... When driving in sand deflate tyre pressures to 18 PSI this increases the length of your tyres foot print and aids with traction, if the sand is thick and at 18 PSI it still Bogs down reduce the tyre pressure to 15 PSI but remember to take cornering easy as at lower pressures there is a chance of rolling the tyre off the rim. If you use this valuable rule you will have ball...... until next time happy WHEELIN
