Other tires have min inflation as well, although I watch "Matt's recovery" on youtube and he drops the pressure to 5 psi for blow sand on his Jeep. Than he pulled the tire out of the rim on couple of occasions.
Feel free to point out a 19.5 tire inflation chart that has a minimum tire pressure. As Buzzcut1 stated his chart started at 70. Maybe you are calling that a minimum. The lowest I’ve ever seen on a chart is 65, so that tire guy was pretty close when he said 10% off of 80, or 72.
As I noted, other than seeing the lowest pressure listed on the chart, the chart for a 19.5 doesn’t help when you go to an empty bed truck. You’ll never be anywhere near the “correct” pressure for the load. So again, the chart doesn’t help get you to the recommended pressure for a empty bed truck.
As you noted, Matt had issues sometimes until he made his bead lockers. Maybe you have a line on 19.5 bead locker though since you want to use him as an example. Or, maybe you should just stop comparing conventional tires used offroad to 19.5s.
