I'm planning to take my Toyota RAV4 off-roading and I'm not sure what tire pressure I should have for optimal performance. Should I stick to the manufacturer's recommended pressure or lower it for better traction?
ReplyFor off-roading, it's best to lower your tire pressure by about 5-10 psi from the manufacturer's recommendation. This will give you better traction and a smoother ride on rough terrain. Just make sure not to go too low, as it may put your tires at risk for damage.
I've found that the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure works just fine for off-roading in a Toyota RAV4. As long as your tires aren't over-inflated, you should have enough grip on most terrains.
