When four wheel driving in Lebanon, changing the tire pressure is one of the best 4wd tips and tricks you’ll learn. The only point of contact between your 4wd and the earth is its tires, and in our Lebanese territory, maintaining the right tires for the right track in Lebanon can be tricky.

So it makes sense that modifying the tires while off-roading in Lebanon some way has a huge impact on the performance of your 4wd. The cheapest and simplest modification you can perform on your tire in Lebanon, is to change the tire pressure. And in almost all off-road situations, this means reducing your tire pressure.

With reduced tire pressure, your four wheel drive will sit on top of the surface rather than digging in the soft sands in Lebanon. It’s important to mention, however, that not re-inflating your tires when you get back onto the black-top is dangerous. You could risk your tires, your 4wd, and even your and others lives.

Driving with reduced tire pressure in Lebanon and anywhere else at highway speeds for long periods of time will cause tire failure.

With reduced tire pressure, the flexing in the rubber will cause heat build-up, especially during the summer season in Lebanon. This weakens the rubber causing tire blow-outs. Also, high speed turns with reduced tire pressure can cause your tire to separate from the wheel rim, increasing the chance of vehicle rollover, a thing we r seeing increasing in Lebanon.
