tire pressure for plowing
I run 3 pounds or less, but I'm running Bias plys.
It makes a big difference in the snow.
Frank is right about the radials, it helps to lower the pressure some,
but the footprint won't flatten as much as a Bias ply. 4-5 PSI is about right.
The 12" tires are also way better as far as airing down, verses the 14".
You probably want to keep at least 2 pounds of air minimum or you may unseat the beads,
unless you have bead locks.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]Never thought about tire pressure for plowing, I just keep 5 lbs. year round on my stock rawhides. I use chains most winters anyway unless I plan on plowing asphalt driveways. Traction never seems like an issue. hmmmmm.....?????
