Leave about 10 psi in there so you don't break your bead on your tires. Make sure you have an air compressor that WORKS, jack with pad base, and a tow strap in any case. And do NOT put yourself in a bad situation (like being double axled and the tide coming in). Good sense is a great tool.

Less pressure = less force keeping it seated. So, you must keep your speed reasonable! Lower pressure will also help traction in dirt and loose rocks.
