HOW TO SET YOUR TYRE PRESSURE FOR OFF - ROADING
ON SAND

• Driving a 4WD vehicle on sand is getting very
  popular nowadays. Whether you are based in Dubai,
  Sharjah or any other area in UAE, you probably
  know how big the excitement of off-road sand
  driving is especially if you own a vehicle with
  motion on all tyres.
• However, off-road driving on sand is not as easy
  as many think. The absolute key to maintaining a
  solid movement is based on understanding two main
  principles tyre pressure and momentum.

THE BEST TYRE PRESSURE FOR SAND DRIVING

• Dropping the tyre pressure for sand driving is
  something that most people are told to do before
  they start their off-road fun. However, most of
  them dont know which is the best level to drop
  the tyre pressure to, and how it would affect the
  driving.
• What you should know is that by lowering the air
  pressure in your tyres, you can increase their
  footprint, which can help your vehicle float over
  the (sand) surface rather than digging into it.
• Also, four wheel drivers should know that
  adjusting the air pressure in their tyres to suit
  sand driving will not only improve their off-road
  performance, but also help the tyre life, help
  prevent any tyre damage and result in a more
  comfortable ride.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT YOUR TYRE PRESSURE WHEN GOING
OFF-ROAD ON SAND

• Sidewall stiffness If your tyres have stiff
  sidewalls, they will act as support and prevent
  the tyre from flattening out. Reducing your tyre
  pressure will allow the tyre footprint to
  increase.
• Tyre aspect ratio (vs. wheel diameter) The lower
  your tyre profile is, the less you will be able
  to reduce the pressure without risking any
  potential damage to the rim.
• Driving speed Driving fast with reduced tyre
  pressure can cause damage to your tyres, or cause
  the tyre separate from the rim. So, if you intend
  to drive fast, increase your tyre pressure
  without exceeding the maximum for sand driving.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT YOUR TYRE PRESSURE WHEN GOING
OFF-ROAD ON SAND

• Trail surface and softness Dry sand and wet sand
  are not the same. On rugged surfaces (dry sand
  which easily traps the vehicle), you should
  always lower your tyre pressure.
• Vehicle weight Lighter or less loaded vehicles
  will need a lower tyre pressure to achieve the
  balooning effect on sand.
• There are different tyre pressure recommendations
  for different 4WD vehicles. All of the
  recommendations should only be listed as a
  general guide. Know more https//www.tyresonline.
