tyre pressures

What pressure should I run my tyres at for off road use? They are 31x10.5r15
mud tyres (wildcat something or other!) The vehicle is a V8 90.

Thanks

You should be able to go down to 16psi without problems. Many go down as
far as 12 if it's really slick, but at that pressure you do risk twisting
them off the rims in extreme situations.

That's assuming tubeless radials. Tubed, I'd be worried about ripping out
the valves at anything lower than 16.

Can of lighter fluid and a lighter to blow them back on the rim. I've never
tried it myself but saw it on a documenatry on one of the Discovery
channels. Very impressive.... youth just needs to draw on his eyebrows each
morning now after the shave.

That's OK for tubeless - saw the programme and was mightily impressed.
Tubed tyres with no valves wouldn't work tho.
