Post by bigears »

I'am running mechanincal beadlocks with 36 pedes on them and i'am going to be runnning a few tracks with a mix of rocks and alot of mud what tyre pressure do people recommed i will hopefully will be driving real hard for a comp .I've only been out on them a few times and had them at around 15 to 10 psi but i'll be driving a lot quicker than i was then so what do people think?

sometimes less is best.

you've get mechanical beadlocks so don't worry, unless your truck is real heavy.

personally i'd try 12-15psi,
but i like having heaps of traction.

you can always start higher and just keep letting out air until you get the required amount of traction.

Depends if you have on=board air to change pressures between hazards,
with heavy side wall tyres 4 to 8 psi is common on patrols for good bite but there is a trade off in ground clearance, steering weight and accuracy and tyre roll on sidelings

try 10 and see how you go. just take it easy. each car is different so its hard to determine.
i run 10 on my paj and i slowly worked my way down from 14 to start with.
and the paj is heavier than a gq my mate just bought.
