In the world of off-road adventures with your Subaru, one simple technique can significantly boost your traction: "airing down" your tires before tackling the trail. Scott from RalliTEK shares valuable insights on this method, explaining how reducing tire pressure makes them softer, enhancing their grip on challenging obstacles and providing a smoother ride.Most Subaru tires typically run between 30 and 40 psi, ideal for on-road handling and fuel efficiency. However, these higher pressures make the tires rigid, hindering their ability to conform to rough terrain and leading to spinning and sliding. Airing down before hitting the trails is a common practice, with the ideal pressure varying depending on your car's weight, tire and wheel size, and the type of terrain you'll encounter.For RalliTEK Subarus, Scott usually settles around 18 psi for general trail days, considering the vehicle's weight and tire specifications. The process involves using tools like the ARB E-Z Deflator to quickly and accurately reduce the tire pressure. However, after a day of off-road excitement, don't forget to air your tires back up to street pressure using various methods like cordless air compressors, 12-volt options, or even a trusty bike pump. By mastering this simple yet effective technique, you can elevate your Subaru's off-road performance and enjoy a smoother and more enjoyable adventure.
