I have Interco Super Swamper SSR Radials in 31x10.50 on the truck though. Even
with that little air pressure in them they don't sag a whole lot. Looked like
running a normal street tire with about 10 psi in it. And keep in mind that was
just for running through some really, really, really deep sand. I wouldn't
reccommend that for hill climbing or any of that. I normally run 30 psi at all
times, 4 wheeling or on the highway.
