19.5 wheel upgrade questions?
I posted this under tow vehicles but several people said it was a common discussion in this forum. I have a 2003 Dodge 3500 Cummins. Really love this truck and plan to keep it a long time as a TV ...

another question: Does anyone know how much you can safely air the 19.5s down?
I've got them on my 4500 and have been thinking of taking it out on the beach.
I have Rickson wheels and Firestone 245/70R-19.5's, they are a great combination with a truck camper but going to the beach is not a 19.5 area where they excel. What I've read/been told is that if you try to air down a 19.5 besides potential for losing the bead, there is a very good possibility of damaging the steel sidewalls. Personally my 19.5's are as smooth or smoother than my 285/70-17's were (except for severe washboard roads).
