The best tire pressure to get optimum sidewall flex is affected by tire construction and the weight resting on the tire. Here is a video to help you determine the best tire pressure for your vehicle when off roading.

While tire pressure are extremely important for off road driving, traction and comfort, it's not the pressure that matters, but the spread of the tire contac...
