QUOTE"What about rocky tracks of a series of steps?"
Depends how rocky and for how long, if we are going to be driving in rocky stuff for a while we'll drop down to 28-30 maybe.....
Series of steps aging depending on severity, the only time we'll drop our
pressures on something like that is if we have difficulty in traction.
Rocky and steps are no different to driving on the road, do you stop and lower
tyre pressures everytime you drive up a curb or driveway...... step ups are just a series of curbs and should be treated the same.
The only time I'll drop
pressures is if traction becomes a problem, it saves ripping lugs of tyres and digging yourself out with a shovel.
Forget environmental impact.... if your going to dig big holes; then there is a concern but the environmental impact in most cases only last until the next lot of rain or wind and then the track is back to what it was before or worse due to the wind and rain.
4wd environmental impact whilst driving is like the term "wasting water", there is no such thing as wasting water as it eventually gets recycled..... it's not a commodity that once used will never be returned. 4wd environmental impact and wasting water must of been dreamt up by the same bureaucrats or his brother.
