Trip to Thórsmörk and Eyjafjallajökull Winter 1989 (33 of 34)

Finally, we made it up the hill. Sigurbjorn is triumphant. Notice how bulged the 36” tall tires are. There is only around 1 psi of pressure in them. That is as low as one can go before taking the tire of the rim. Such low tire pressure increases the contact patch size and allows the car to “float” on the snow. Yes the wheels spun inside the tires forcing me to get them rebalanced.
