I run 5PSI on my Samurai. The idea is to get as much traction as possible
without popping the bead. The reason you can get away with this is because
you're generally going slow. This also causes increased wear on the tire.
     The lighter the truck, the lower the pressure. My sammy runs:
20-22/5-8 (on/off). I'd think a you could probably get away with a little
bit less that 20, but the tire and the rim do play a part in it. The
narrower your rim, the lower you can go (within reason).
