5.0 RPAMS TIRE SIZES AND
RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURES
5.1
All RPAMS RP SOF Series tires and tire types are certified to
DOT certified cold tire pressure of 20 psi and must be
maintained at that pressure for normal driving applications and
loads. RPAMS DELTA FX 4-PLY Dune/Desert tire is not
DOT certified.
5.2
Proper inflation is the key to tire life and performance. During
off road and lower speed applications for specific tactical
requirements, tire pressure reductions can facilitate more
effective terrain navigation. The following chart provides
minimum pressure applications for off road, lower speeds with
normal payloads:
