?? what tire pressure you running for trails or desert
« on: June 10, 2014, 10:58:38 pm »
Just curious what  tire pressure you running.  I have always run about 6- 8 psi  but I read for sport trails or desers it should be like ...10-16 lbs

10-16 lbs--that seams high to me.  I run 22" rear and 23" front 6 ply ITP XCT and Maxis ll.
If they can't kick start it--THEY CAN'T RIDE IT

Just depends on the sand and the kind of traction you're getting.  If it's wet, dry, fine, course, etc.

Wet/course conditions i usually run more psi.

i never run over 4.5 in my tires for any riding. i think 5 is way to hard. but if you are in a rocky area it might be
better to have more air if your worried about bending a rim. but its gonna be a bouncy ride.
life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sidays totally worn out shouting "HOLY SH*T...WHAT A RIDE!"

It all depends. Some times in the sand, I was adding air to allow the tires to spin a little more.
But even in the rzr, the highest I have been around 10psi.
