tire presure on clay

[TheEntertainer]

Howdy all,
If I'm going to be driving on a wet road with nice slippery clay on it, should I lower the tire pressure? And if so how much?

it depends, if you're sinking or digging into it you can lower the pressure, however if its slimey hard pack raising the pressure helps

I see two options on thin clay road (not talking about muddy bugholes)

Get a new set of underpants?
put a little foot down in a hope to clean the tires a little?

or apply the traditional landrover technique

As Slowly as possible but as fast as necessary.

I agree with you....couple of years ago on a wet clay road at night and raining I could not identify what was a mob of cattle all over the road ahead.....braking was futile really.....I was doing about 80k and just cadence braked until I was close enough to try to split two......but hit one.....btw I had good muddies on......had no room on board to carve it up either. changed my undies and drove off.......a little slower and more cautiously.
