Bit like asking how long a piece of string However, it depends on many factors, i.e. do you have a means of reinflating, how much the vehicle weighs, what type of surface you are looking at traversing.

Just keep em at the recommended pressures you only need to deflate tyres for very slippery surfaces or loose soft sand. If you need to deflate them lower the pressure by about 10psi.

if yer got lots of sharp stones i.e flint, then you would be better dropping the pressure as this allows the tyre to form around the stone rather than the stone piercing the tyre.
its a bit like ..... if yer had a piece of paper and you poked it wiff yer finger the paper would deflect away from yer finger.. now if yer pull the paper tight and poke it, yer finger will go through the paper.
so by running at full pressure you are 'holding yer paper' tight
