Even though they live there and travel that road several times a year. I never criticize the poster only incorrect information. I will be seeing that road AGAIN 3 May. Last visit 3 February. I even drop the tire pressure on the toad from 35 PSI to 20 lbs and slow to 40 kPh. I cannot afford blown tires. I have seen Mexican drivers take that section airborne at 120 kPh.
That all may be so. But the fact is that so often fear and exaggeration is bandied about needlessly. That road is just not that bad. Rough yes but certainly doable in anything from a car to a class A motorhome to tractor trailers. And whether you air down your tires or not is up to you but it is certainly NOT necessary to make that trip.
