Goat,
You have no clue, if you think that the majority of the Democrats of Color are bigots because they don’t agree with you drum them out of your party
if they don’t leave on their own first that is!
No, the great thing about our constitution is that the rules are written down. Especially the 10th amendment which limits the scope of the federal
government and its agencies as the Supreme Court has noted several times recently.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to
the people.
If you disagree with that amend the constitution if you have the votes!

Back to the 18 psi thing. Is this practically doable if you drive 16 miles of sand/rough road and then 70 miles of pavement to get to and from
doctors' appointments? I'm going to need to find a convenient compromise here someplace. On 18 inch wheels carrying BFGoodrich AT tires, maybe 30 psi?
What would be the minimum psi to drop down to without making the highway portion risk unacceptably high?

We run F load tires.
When towing we put them up to 70-85 psi.
Normal driving 60-65 psi.
On the dirt trails 35 psi.
In the sand 22 psi.
Emergency sand 15 psi.

Thanks JZ: Standard listed hiway pressure for these tires (T/A KO2 LT255/70R18 D on Canyon 35psi and max 65 according to what I read, so I will
adjust accordingly when i need to in emergencies. Long way on pavement to an air service.

You need a quick pump to refill. Do not run pavement underinflated.

I'm with DK on this.
A portable compressor is about $75. Lots less expensive than a visit to the ER if you have a low pressure blowout/rollover on pavement.
Just got back from Wyoming where I had to air down and air up several times. Only takes a few minutes. I have a Viair 85P, but others can suggest
their choices. It's worked great for close to 7 years now. But, I take exceptional care of my gear.
20-22 psi on dirt, 34 psi on pavement seems to work for me. 235/75-15 tires.

you can run highway underinflated as long as you want - but not at the speed you want.
You can only do that at a slow speed
but as far as you want
and as long as you want

Bad advice.
Inflate your tires properly for pavement driving.
Woke!

Not practical. Airing down is impractical for daily driving/commuting.
If you are traveling an unpaved road daily, the road should be maintained.
A maintained (even washboarded) road is driveable at normal street tire pressure.

by all means - if you have a compressor, air your tires back up to street pressure
my comment aims at people who had their compressor die (cheap compressors are very popular)
my point is - if you don't have anything to inflate your tires - don't give up
you can, without damage, drive to the next filling station at slow speeds
I ran Rubicon trail trips for 30 years
on the way back to Georgetown (40 miles) we almost never aired up from 10 psi
so, 40 miles pavement at max 40 mph will do no damage
minimum 10 trips a year for 30 years = no damage, no flat, no de-beat.
the negatives:
unstable in curves
stopping power more than doubles (your face in the steering wheel)

Why would anyone put such a sticker on their car?
I have never understood why adults feel need to put messages on their car or t-shirts. No stranger wants to know what you think. Your friends and
acquaintances probably already know what you think.
I had a T shirt that said "The Older I get The Faster I was". I got a lot of comments from women.

Thanks Harald: A very well used GMC Canyon crew cab 4by4. As you understand my situation best, I am in agreement with you. I will deflate slightly to
30 psi for a moderate reduction from the 35 psi recommended for hiway pressure. Hopefully this reduces the overly stiff suspension shake a bit. I can
deflate more if I run into exceptional trouble and then drive slowly to the first air service. The Canyon has been jacked 2 inches and the 15 inch
wheels replaced with 18 inch wheels, so manufactured specs no longer apply.
I am not one of those guys trying to take those 60kph curves at 90 anyway. Life really is not that short that I need to save the 1-2 minutes getting
to town.

30psi sounds good for a start
have you ever done a chalk test?
if not - do one!

I'll tell you after the test what to do with it

Nothing wrong with carrying a compressor and tire plug kit. I have helped quite a few others with flat tires. Plugged it for them and aired them
up, and sent them on their way. I even found a tiny nail in one of my tires before I left for Wyoming. Plugged it in my garage rather than
somewhere on the road or in the dirt.

Plug repair kit I have, as well as the cans of repair/reinflate mix. Compressor and those rescue boards JZ mentioned are on the list of things to add
to the spares we carry. Thanks again everyone for coming up with all these suggestions, has been extremely helpful.

Compressor is a must have. Airing down gives you a much more comfortable ride in the dirt.
Get a set of 4 tire deflators. Makes airing down MUCH easier, especially on full size trucks.
I have these:

You can get cheaper ones for $30 with excellent reviews on Amazon.
