So, for necessity, 15 to 20 psi is probably fine but here is the trick... Don't leave the tires deflated any longer than necessary. Certainly don't park it for four days and keep those low pressures like I did. Inflate it back up to 40 or 50 psi once in location then deflate when you are ready to move.
That sure is rare experience to share.
The mentioned Matt is keeping his Jeep on 11 psi all the time and with hundreds of youtube videos never posted a separation problem, even several vides show pulling the tire from rim.
Than he is using different rating tires, what might be a difference.
In the past I had low-boy equipment handler, who took 120 psi in tires to handle the load. When good quality tires were not available in the size, the tires I bought on ebay come folded 1 half into another.
Can't find a picture of tire folded this way, but this will let you visualize how the tires were stored and shipped.
I was concern about it quite a bit, but tire stretched and worked just fine.
