A colleague of mine is teaching a Field Biology course for the first time this semester, and he's asked me to come do a guest lecture this Friday on off-roading.
If these students become field biologists, they'll get stuck with whatever vehicles are available through their employer, and be expected to use them to get to whatever field sites they are assigned. It's highly unlikely that they will get fantastic off-road-capable jeeps. When I was a grad student, our vehicle was a dinky, two-wheel drive pickup. Luckily, I didn't have to go off-roading for my work.
I can cover the basics of what to do and what not to do, regardless of what kind of vehicle they end up with. But, I've got a question. Airing down big, beefy off-roading tires is a good idea. What about street tires? Can/should they be aired down, or not?
What do you think?
