Michelin XZL 14.00 R 20
4 XZL tyres with a treaded profile are tyres that are also used in the famous Dakar, very versatile in fact for off-road driving especially on sand, in fact we can go down to 1 bar.
But it is not so much for this that I am writing this article but more for some 'problems' I have encountered with the tyre pressure, in fact I have inflated the 4 tyres to 5.1 bar and then later fitted the pressure sensors, however I realised that the pressure variation on each tyre is absurd.

That's why it becomes important to decrease the pressure, especially on sand. By decreasing the pressure, the tyre will increase its surface area on the ground, distributing the weight better.
For the uninitiated like me, adjusting the pressure will be a laborious job. Having trilex rims, I cannot deflate the tyres too much to prevent the tyre from rotating on the rim, dragging the inner tube inside and thus tearing the valve.
As a consequence, the inner tube will have to be replaced.

Sand driving
When I return from Morocco I will create a section dedicated to sand driving to report on my experiences.
