I have a new 200 Lounge V8 diesel European specifications with some 5000 km on the odometer. I live in Mauritania/Nouakchott where roads are an even mix of good asphalt, bad asphalt and non asphalted roads. Rarely drive more than 100km/h and most of the time drive in town slow traffic or on sand dunes or soft/deep sand at the beach. The car usually drives well in sand with normal 4x4 and on the beach I usually put H4 sand mode . However, the car often digs itself in the sand , especially at the beach when I have to restart from idle in soft sand and in these cases I always get going with crawl control which works very well with some patience.
My question is whether it would be alright to put the tire pressure down to perhaps 1.5 and keep it always like that except of course if I have to travel longer ways on tarmac. The tires are the normal European specs with 20'.
I would appreciate getting advise and experience from other members,
