My Sierra has got 32" Mongrels with tubes front and tubeless rear ..normally run 10 offroad, but have recently been running 8...will probably run less after power steer.
I got frequent bead leaks on front, (different carcass brand to rear) hence the tubes in da front. But never lost the bead, even when almost flat.
Will probably tube the rear if I happy.

I run 32" Mongrels without tubes at 5 - 7 PSI regularly and don't have a problem with beads leaking.

That could be taken in more than one way :D

You might want to take into consideration the weight of your vehicle too. The heavier it is the more chance you will lose a bead for a given PSI.

I run 31 simex centipedes with tubes. I usually run at 5psi and have never lost a bead.
