Do you guys air down offroad? What PSI for stock tires?

Yup, sounds right. I’d definitely rather have something I didn’t have to babysit as much, but I suppose I’m going to need to spend some time checking anyway.

The dewalt pumps to set point and shuts off. If manual gauge reading is out then reset compressor set point to compensate

that is assuming it’s repeatably inaccurate though.

You are right. I do quite a bit of off-roading in the southwest. I have cut sidewalls but not gone through so as to lose air. Some of it is just luck, the rock being in the right angle, you hitting it just right, and so on. A small cut is really not an issue in a really good off road tire, like the BFGs. Also the KO2s on the Raptor are C range, which means their sidewalls are more pliable and again, in my opinion, less likely to get cut. Those people who put D & E range tires on the Raptor are not making their off road ability any better.

The only tires I found worked reliably in the worst conditions were a 14 ply Dueler. They had a compact tread design (since the more open treads got punctures) and they got cut, chunked out and abused, but rarely went flat.

They were terrible on most gravel, rock, mud and snow. But we didn't care too much. Company truck and let momentum do most of the work. Bottom line is we weren't replacing flat tires every day or so. Some of the places were very remote, so you get a flat going into a job, then you only have one or two spares left. Didn't give you a great feeling. Or once you used your last spare, you could literally feel every sharp rock like bare feet on lego.

All about tradeoffs.
