On a few occasions while camping, I've taken my Variant down dry dirt/gravel roads to get to a hiking trail or something. As many of you know, gravel roads get that washboard thing going on and it feels like it wants to rattle loose every screw in the car. Sometimes speeding up or slowing down helps a bit.
So I was wondering, should I reduce the tire pressure, to say 20 psi, to smooth things out a bit and let the tires absorb more of that vibration? I often take my little 12V air compressor along so re-infalting the tires when I get back to the pavement wouldn't be hard at all.
Thanks,
Matt
PS And no, I can't afford a Toureg for this type of thing. :wink:
