When I was younger, I work on the police beach patrol on Cape Cod, MA. We
had two trucks, one new Chevy 4x4 3/4 ton and a M715. The Chevy had radial
tires that we ran at 12 psi. The M715 had military ND's tires that we ran
at 10 psi. I also had a M37 that had "farm implement tires" that I ran at
10 psi on the beach. I never got stuck or had to reseat a tire in over four
years I worked there. We also ran in 2WD most of the time :). I know, it
was a tough job but someone had to do it. And yes, they paid me:)
