If anything a large tire with small rim is better for airing down than the same tire size with a big rim. You just have more rubber to work with until you get to the rim. I'm no expert, but I think it's fairly commonsense. 15" was the standard wheel forever and people put huge rubber on it. These huge rim sizes are a fairly new fad.
Ok, thanks!

After severral checks, rechecks, and re-rechecks, I've finally got all the rubber contacting the road, and a great daily driver pressure, and super O/R pressure, for lazy days when I don't feel like airing down.

Makes perfect sense to me, as I'm running my DuraTrac 33-12.50x15's lower than the original GY 17"(oem size). And I get quite good off road performance with my daily pressures, even off road, though it is still better aired down.
