I am running BFG 235-60-15 on 8" wheels. I have been running 35psi and I am expecting to start having traction problems once I change the rear gear. What would be a good starting point for reducing the pressure to help with traction?

When running my Dacuda with 225/50-15s reduce them to 22 psi to start and let additional air out if traction is still a problem. I have run them as low as 18 psi on really slick tracks.

add extra for the front for less rolling resistance.
