Great thread. For the very inexperienced like myself, can you guys give some guidance on when to “air down” the tires and by how much?
thanks in advance.

And to add, IIRC, at one point 30 psi was printed in Owner Guide as recommended air-down pressure for the factory spec Pirelli AT. Unless updated/removed, it might still be in there.As a general rule, always air down off road.
How much is highly dependent on the wheels and tires you are running. The combination of a heavy vehicle and limited sidewall with the R1 severely limits the amount you can air down even with good tires and wheels. Where I run 8 to 12 lb in my TJ, I seldom air down lower than 25 lb in the R1; even running heavy case off-road tires. Stock Pirelli's I would not advise airing down any lower than 30 PSI.

The current version of the Owner's Guide still has ~ 30 PSI as a recommendation when Off-roading. 31 PSI to be exact for the 20's and 21's.And to add, IIRC, at one point 30 psi was printed in Owner Guide as recommended air-down pressure for the factory spec Pirelli AT.
