Don't do something stupid, oyu have to drive this home

For those of us who's ego's is demonstrated by the right foot on the gas pedal. A little reminder that you have to drive the truck home. I'm printing it and taping it to by windshield ( in plain view of the driver’s seat) and placing one on my gauge display. I think I'll even print a large one for my wife to wave around when she is screaming for me to "knock it off!"

Thats exactly what I did for the Land Rush run...

My son wrote in pencil on it. (hard to see) " Don't do something dumb when your doing something dumb"...lmao

I ran the prerun at 35psi but i believe the others didn't air down. I don't think its really going the be necessary to air down.

I ran at highway pressure (42psi) and the general opinion was that while it did work we would've done considerably better with less air in the tires.

When I took my grabbers in the snow, they worked 10x better once I aired down to 25 psi! I would definitely do the same for the SnoBall... Why wouldn't you??? Even on dry asphalt, 25psi isn't going to hurt your tires.

With the varying winter terrain we covered on the pre-run we didn't just have snow. We encountered everything from super soft powder to snow covered glare ice. The Grabbers are not a winter tire and while you may have traction in some areas it would only serve a false sense of security leading into a different type of surface, ie going from hard packed surface with ice & gravel patches at 75mph and rounding a bend immediately hitting loose powder on top of a glare surface. I can't stress enough the importance of having an all-terrain or snow rated tire for this.
