What tire psi for the sand?

What vehicle? Are we talking about going out in the dunes or pulling into camp? What tires? Too many variables to make a blanket statement here. In my Raptor to go out in the dunes, 13 psi with Method beadgrips with 37's. My F350 pulling into Gordon's with a 30' enclosed trailer, 20'ish on 37's. SXS out in the dunes, 8 with beadlocks. Hard pack SXS trail cruising, 8-10 with 33's or 35's on the pro r. SXS hardpack hauling azz, 15'ish. Funco gen 4 LS3, 12'ish front, 10 rear. Always a little less if the sand is wet. :ez:

Less when its wet? I have always run more so the tire will spin easier. Curious
 
Sand tires, not dirt tires. Running 8psi all the way around. Method wheel with the "Bead Grip", not Bead Locks and I have never had an issue.

I ran stock bighorns on a 2018 X3 Max for two full seasons. They are a on the softer side of the dirt tires and are on beadlocks. I kept them ~8-10PSI in the dry stuff.... wet sand I'd keep it around 12PSI. Only issue I had was losing an inside bead once from sliding.
 
On a Funco Gen 4, Honda powered. Baja Pros up front with Bead locks, 6lbs. Rear on 15" paddles, run 12-15lbs.
 
2022 Can Am XRS Turbo R, 2 Seat...running stock 32" Carnivores with beadlocks. I run 8-10 lbs and in 4WD.
My buddy runs paddles and in 2WD and interestingly we did a run from cement flats, played around in that area, then headed to Flag Pole, then Swing set, Olds, K2, glamis beach Store and back to camp at Cement flats. I barely used 1/4 tank of fuel. Tim almost ran out.
