shercofray Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 erm, you will need about 4psi in the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzralphy Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 6 in the front and 4 in the rear. Drop 0.5-1psi if it is muddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 dry conditions I have been know to run 5 rear and 7 front. I am 16.5 stone. (230 lbs) Most often 4 rear and 6 front. Good size steps and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Brand of tyre also has an effect, if you make the mistake of buying a vee rubber you'll need to be closer to 2psi. Have heard pirelli's are no better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot 3 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Brand of tyre also has an effect, if you make the mistake of buying a vee rubber you'll need to be closer to 2psi. Have heard pirelli's are no better If it's Pirelli's just let all the air out and run em flat, they still won't grip worth a **** but they'll still look fully inflated Edited March 27, 2010 by Slapshot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
