  This tidbit is most definitely testimonial, but at certain towns
here on the NC coast, the authorities still allow you to drive on the
beach. It is common local practice to air down to 20 psi for combined
pavement/beach driving (I assume low speed/low mileage), and even
less for tough patches of deep dry sand.

  I am pretty sure nobody ever cleared it with the tire manufacturers
first, but it's worth what you paid...
