My current Cooper Discoverer S/T's will be due for replacement soon and I am considering changing to something with stronger sidewalls as a precaution against staking.

The S/T's have been excellent in soft sand with 15-18 psi and I would like to retain that performance.

From what I can determine, reducing tyre pressure has a significant effect on elongating the footprint but does not much affect the width of the footprint even though the sidewalls bulge out. If so, then stiffer sidewalls will not compromise the merit of reducing tyre pressure.

What is the experience of others?

Cheers
