I also have the same tires and no beadlocks. I go down to 12psi without any issues.

I just got back from OBX. I went down to 18 PSI and I was just fine.

Yep, I'm usually in that 10-12psi range also. As long as you don't any stupid sharp turning high throttle maneuvers, you'll be fine at those pressures.

I was at 15lbs all week. Not a problem.

I usually air down to 18 , this has been sufficient.Don’t forget, You may need a pass for certain locations. Check with the National Park Service.
