Great link, especially to the 'necessary' gear... bumper dumper portable toilet
deflated
goes`something like this :
1. realise in trouble so remove valve cap and poke schraeder with small screwdriver
2. taking too long so get someone else to poke screwdriver into valve
3. look around for small stick to poke into second tire
4. look at tide level and wish i had 4 gadgets to quickly release tire press
5. realise there has to be a more efficent method

Buy a box of matches.....remove valve cap and wedge a match in along side the valve to keep it open...then proceed to the next wheel and do the same.....by the time you get around the vehicle the one you started at should be down to a low enough pressure.
A box of 50 matches will allow you to do this 8 times if you are doing six wheels!
Deflating trailer tires (along with towing vehicle tires) in sand is the way to go.

staun tyre deflators?

It is a boat trailer & they normally run a tyre of any sisize from 10" - 13" to keep trailer low for easy launching or retrieval. I think 255 on boat trailer may be a bit big.

SubscriberExactly, best 80-100 bucks you will spend. screw them on just before you get on the sand (30 secs), they are to required pressure in about 1-2min. I have two sets, set to different pressures.staun tyre deflators?

buy one of these, they unscrew the valve center and allow you to release the air quicker.goes`something like this :
1. realise in trouble so remove valve cap and poke schraeder with small screwdriver
2. taking too long so get someone else to poke screwdriver into valve
3. look around for small stick to poke into second tire
4. look at tide level and wish i had 4 gadgets to quickly release tire press

You let down your tyres as you get to the sand before launching your boat.
If you decide to wait until you get stuck when getting the boat out of a rising tide, then use the matches and just set fire to the boat and tow vehicle, it will save you from having to retrieve a flooded vehicle. On second thoughts, unhook the boat, jump in and wait to float away that way you will only need enough matches to set fire to the car.

Maybe we're expecting too much out of what really is a smallish motor allready pushing 2 tonnes. Just because it's a v8 doesn't mean it's powerfull.
