Tire Pressure

[sgtsandman]

I go to 8-10psi on the beach.

The psi of your farts at time of release doesn't count.

 

[Dirtman]

I've had too many colonoscopies to hold any pressure.

You guys are great

Another tire rotation today, with Oil/Filter change--9000 mile total--Tire rotation as per book, verified pressure at 44 PSI, with tread measurements across face of tires, measured in three places--New tread measurement was 15/32--current, after 9k of use, is over 14/32.
Wear is across entire tire face, even, and indicates correct pressure, for vehicle weight/tire construction.

Is this with LT tires? I know tires equipped from stock with LT tires is 38 psi.

BFG's-Original size, 8 ply rating--I wish I had gone with the 265/70R 17's, as the 1 1/2 inch taller tires, look really good in comparison to the fender openings--Just wasn't sure if they would fit/not rub--Will go with this size next.

8 ply, I think that is load C. So LT tires. How is the ride with that pressure and how has the grip been on wet roads?

EDIT: I looked it up. 8 ply = load D.

 

[acsnowrider]

Correct--I ran 10 ply's (load E), on the FX4 04 level two, so I may have spoiled my ability to rate "ride comfort"-The 04 was a "hard as a board", but when I parted with it at over 180,000 miles, it was still a sad day. Ride comfort on this new one, is soft/very comfortable, with great suspension response/shock control. Not much rain in our area, (haven't driven out more than 150 miles), but there are quite a few reviews on Tire Rack, with some mileages in excess of 70 thousand.

It's illegal to drink beer on a beach in NJ... Yes you heard me, it is ILLEGAL to drink beer ON A BEACH in NJ...

Plus I just pee in my wetsuit while I'm fishing!

Well, stand in the surf. You will be legally "off" the beach, in the surf. Two very distinct areas.
Any law there relating to carrying beer "across" the beach ?

The "navigable" water law which is federal not by state is not recognized by NJ. So going below the high water line while legal by the federal government is not accepted by NJ. I've personally been part of lawsuits over this... bottom line NJ sucks and millionaires own the beaches. The federal government is suppose to own any land to the high water mark of any navigable waterway. Which means I can walk in the backyard of some billionaire with a stream through his land as long as my feet stay wet and I can float a balloon down the stream...

 

[Dirtman]

And you choose to live there ? No one is forcing you to stay in that state ? I mean, do they have something on you that is forcing you to stay there ?
Not picking on you, but I've been in NJ. My son and daughter in law lived in Hoboken, which to someone like me, living in Va, seemed like a 3rd world country.
Too many "don't do this/you can't do that" rules n regulations.

I love this argument.... just leave and move somewhere else. Can I borrow a few million paw? Lol. I was born here, inherited my home, I'm "ok" financially but I can't move to another state. I pay no property tax here, my property is worth nothing, I'd basically leave and start over. Can any human afford to do that?

I apologize Dirtman...I should not have posted that response. It was in bad taste, and I understand your point. Was just making fun about the drinking bit and got carried away.
I deleated my post.
