I'm heading to the great white north this weekend (Ok just Traverse City) for a trail ride/snow run and I'd like to make a good showing with my Track.  I'll be the only Zuk there and probably the only rig that's not fullsize.  I'm running 29.5X11.5 radial swampers on 8" MT classic 2's.  I ran 8f-6r psi at the dunes and got around pretty good until I went to 5f-3r and went 65 % of silver lake in 2wd.  There's about 8" of powder snow on top of 4-5" of hard wet stuff.  I have 2" suspension and 3" body lifts.  

Any suggestions?..........and yes I'll grab pics.

yep air down as low as you can go. Should be able to be around 5 psi easy!

This is exactly right.As low as you can go. I run in the snow a lot. Im runnin 35s and generally run at 4psi in the snow. BRING A SPARE!   Just in case you blow a bead. I never have in the snow but Ive seen it happen, without a spare that can really be a pain in the ass. Good luck and kick some ass!

with 29's i wouldnt go any lower than 12psi!!!!!!!

Why I used to run 5psi with my 31s all the time. I would say 6 on the high side.

ive been told the less pressure u run with the smaller of a tire u take better chances of coming of the beed!!!!! :-/

I agree that your chances of that happening are increased but thats what the spare is for. How much more of a risk that is depends on your type of wheel and tire combo

I ran 5-6 with my 29x10.50 intercos all the time with no problems. Actually the light weight Kick still had a hard time floding the sidewalls at that pressure.

Dang, I usually air down to about 12 on rock, and maybe 8 on snow.

Floding? What is that?

Floding? What is that?

I think it's like where the slidewail flods burfically to the rangoon, right?

Didn't I just see a video of your tire blowing off it's bead?

WOW.........10 replies.  Thanks guys (or gals).

When I aired to 5-3 was when they really started to flod (new word to me I called it squash) and put down a big footprint.  The difference was amazing,  it sounds cocky but it took some of the challenge out of driving at the dunes.  I can't wait to show the full size guys how this thing gets around, I've enjoyed it every time Jeep people see me motor past.

I'll post some pics Sun or Mon.

My wife is bringing our Yukon so I can tow it home if I break it.

Where're you wheeling in TC?

I run 31x9.50 Swamper TSL radials and I recently noticed one of them looking like it was bulging a little more than the others. I checked it and the pressure was 1-2 PSI!!! Seems the bead wasn't sealed too well and it allowed the air to escape when some salt got in there... what surprised me was that the Tracker wasn't heavy enough to actually flatten the tire all the way, only about half-way. Does that mean the sidewalls are stiff enough to allow me to run flat? LOL!!! (I don't think I'll try it anytime soon... lol)
