For soft sand, reduce tyre pressure to increase the footprint; keep speeds low, and reinflate before returning to sealed roads.
Quick checklist
- Lower pressure on soft sand to increase traction.
- Drive slowly and smoothly; avoid sharp turns.
- Carry a compressor and gauge; reinflate before leaving the beach.
- Follow local signs and stick to designated areas.

FAQs
What exact PSI should I use?
It varies by vehicle, load and sand conditions. Start with a modest reduction and adjust as needed — always reinflate before road speeds.
Is low pressure safe on bitumen?
No. Low pressure on sealed roads overheats tyres and can damage sidewalls — reinflate before leaving the beach.
