I've had 235's on my bone stock 93 kick and go out in the desert, up sand washes and over rocks and have never aired down... A lot of times i cruise for hours before even putting it in 4/hi and lock my hubs... a lot of times I'll go to 4/lo without locking the hubs just because I need the power.. I usually run out of whoopie before I run out of traction..I carry about 23lbs all around and have never aired down... But there was that one time when a thorn bush aired down for me.....
