Fundamentals of Vehicle Recovery: 1. Training is the most important investment in vehicle recovery. Find an I4WDTA trainer, local 4WD club course, or premium .gov/military/civilian program like Overland Experts and get trained. It pays enormous dividends in keeping you and the vehicle safe. 2. Stop as soon as the vehicle fails to make progress. Getting unstuck is far easier when the 4WD is not ...

Key Considerations When Overlanding in the Sand and Dunes: Lower tire pressure is the greatest contributor to driving success in the sand and dunes for a standard overland vehicle. In sand with a standard (i.e., lower horsepower) vehicle, an all-terrain tire with a modest tread pattern will perform best, as it provides the best overall footprint regularity for flotation and limited disruption o...

    As a Tyre Tech for more than 4 Decades , Yes airing down will lengthen the Tread Length But It Will NOT Make the Tread Any Wider than it is Already, And Riding on the Sidewalls Is NOT Increasing the Tread Width, You Guys Always try to say that it makes them wider BUT It Dose NOT, The Tread Patten Can NOT GROW In WIDTH.

    • @ExpeditionPortal
      @ExpeditionPortal 12 часов назад

      Thank you for the feedback and comment. In general terms (as it varies by section height and construction) 80% of the increased flotation area comes from the carcass length, and 20% from the width. It is important not to confuse the tread face with carcass width (which also includes sidewall tread on many tire models), as carcass width under low pressures does contribute (although marginally) to increased flotation. This is most evident in snow, sand, and mud. When crossing glaciers, we rely heavily on the increased flotation that comes from the sidewall as well.

    You also recommend engaging 4WD early on unpaved roads. Why does 2WD tear up unsaved roads? How does 4WD prevent that?

    • @ExpeditionPortal
      @ExpeditionPortal 16 дней назад

      Great questions. Shifting into 4WD (or driving an AWD) on unimproved surfaces reduces both wheelspin (even imperceptible) and wheel hop by having both pushing (rear axle) and pulling (front axle). Just a way to reduce impact and preserve trails for future travelers.

  • @davidharden8469
    @davidharden8469 17 дней назад

    Why do you recommend a light truck variant versus a passenger tire?

    • @ExpeditionPortal
      @ExpeditionPortal 15 дней назад

      Due to the construction. Most P-rated tires will be a lighter-duty carcass construction with weaker sidewalls as well.

    Thanks Scott. Good information to know. I never thought about using the rim diameter as a reference for lowering the tire pressure. I've always just started at 1/2 the recommended street tire pressure.

  • @cameronwood1994
    @cameronwood1994 24 дня назад

    Even better, if a manufacturer publishes tyre pressure data for off-road use, follow those. Michelin publish them for the 4x4-O/R - known also as the XZL - for on-road use, tracks and sand up to 65 km/h (40 mph), and for emergency flotation up to 20 km/h (12 mph). It generally tracks along 65-70% of normal for tracks and sand, and 30-40% of normal for emergency soft. I have the complete table if you want it?

    • @ExpeditionPortal
