    After following this thread I'm leaning towards keeping the 19s as plenty of people are getting around OK using them including our most challenging dunes.....anyone tried Bornholm yet?
    Plus there are more tyres becoming available so I may use these road tyres for a while then go for something a bit more aggressive.
    Thanks for all the advices.

    Was also thinking of going the GOE route - took the D4 (3L) with 19" Grabbers up to coral bay and it seemed to struggle on really soft sections and in dunes a tad - at 25psi - was told that was the limit! confident now in going lower.

    What would be the minimum psi for 255/50/20 factory wheels ?

    Are the 20in more likely to roll off the bead?

    Stockton beach can be really soft this time of year!

    I ran my 265 50 20 at 18 on Stockton. The land rover wheels have very good bead locks.

    I have the 18’s and I have never been stuck at 25psi in many hundreds of sand Kms. Sand mode DSC off. Never give it full herbs just good steady if it starts to dig in give it a bit more but don’t cane it, choose your lines, also make sure you use off road height for the soft chopped up bits, if you have Llams leave it raised. I am always ready to drop pressures if required but so far never required. My experience driving with my brother ina D4 with 19’s is that you Need to go much lower with the 19’s, at least 18 psi.

    I have a shovel, maxtrax, winch and snatch strap, have only ever used them to recover others.
