You guys with like 40" tires and tube frames. . . How much do you air down to, if at all? Are your vehicles of signifigant weight that it makes much of a difference? Looking at some of the pictures, the tires don't seem to flatten much.

I usually air down to 5psi in the front and 3 or 4psi in the rear.The mtrs dont like to bulge at the side walls like a bias ply will and the buggys light weight doesnt help much either.The next time I make it out to the MR I was going to go even lower with the air pres.
The next tire I buy for rock only performance will probably a bias ply super swamper sx or some blingin 39inch red label krawlers(if I can get bfg to sell them to me)

its not so much the fact that its a buggy, moreover the factors are weight, and the type of tire it is. weight(obviously) plays a big factor, but the brand and make of tire makes even more of a differenc ive noticed. i have friends with boggers who will just take the valvestems out and go. the sidewalls are so thick and stiff that it doesnt matter to the bogger type. then you have mud terrains which vary quite a bit depending on if theyre made by bfg, toyo, goodyear and so on.
rockape also has a point as far as if its a bias ply vs a radial

not a buggy but i run 4 to 6 front and 4 or less rear.and yes it makes a huge diff.. the more tire you have on the rock the better also an aired down tire helps absorb some of the shock(smoother ride) and forms to the rocks which helps traction ;) !!
