how much psi everybody uses

[larusso_1]

Just wondering what kind of psi you guys use for the front and back tires on your blaster? riding trails and open fields, stock tires.

 

[phragle]

depends on the course, usually 5 in front, 3 to 5 in the rear.

 

[tjsdaname]

like said above, depends on the track anywhere from 7-10 in the back and 8-12 in the front

The better suspension you have the more air your supposed to run depending on the course. That way you tires dont absorb as much and it lets you dial in your suspension.

Pro guys run from 12-15psi in the front and 10 in the back. But they run tire balls too and have monster suspension setups.

Id try 7-8 in the front and 6 in the rear and see how that feels on a blaster on a track and trails Id go 5 in the front and 5 in the rear. Either way its gonna jar your teeth out on a blasters stock suspension. haha

You opened a can of worms with this one. Your gonna get a 100 different answers. I would listen to Phragle before most people.

 

[slickerthanyou]

I run 6 up front and 6.5 in the rear. Even though the tires brands i use recommend no more than 4.

he rides desert with bigger tires, if you ride mx with 18's then you should run higher pressures....

Depends on the tire.... I prefer anywhere from 2-5 psi for the back

 

[Budget_Blaster]

I run whatever the manufacturer suggests.you can experiment yourself to find your sweet spot but the manfacturers suggested psi rating is a good starting point.

 

[Caterpillarmech]

I run ten on all four corners. I like the fronts to be a little harder for cornering and rears feel fine too. I also run nothing but gravel.

 

[larusso_1]

thank you everyone for your responses.

6 in front 3-5 in back

 

[sheeblast]

if it aint above 40psi, it is flat.

 

[xJust_Causex]

if it aint above 40psi, it is flat.

you would prolly have the tire explode in your face before you hit 40 psi, Although we have ran car tires up to 65 trying to bead them before, haha.

 

[sheeblast]

i think 40psi is like max for beading them.
but i run dubs on my quad, maybe i should have said that. lol

 

[xJust_Causex]

most atv tires is 20-25lbs to seat the beads, your average car tire is 40-45 max to bead, anything over that and you are asking for problems

 

[sheeblast]

ya 40-45 for a car tire? i run 40-45psi for everyday driving. haven't had a problem in the past 2 years with them. and they are just average tires on an average car.

 

[xJust_Causex]

most car tires are 32-38 most tires on 1/2 tons run 42-45, 3/4-1 60+ unless you are running some gay low profile sh*t then you maybe at 40 psi

 

[sheeblast]

i think my tires are 195/55R15 or 195/45R15. more PSI = more MPG

 

[xJust_Causex]

also meens uneven tire wear=reduced tire life, also could put more wear and tear on the vehicle and could also cause bad things to happen, there is reccomend tire pressure ratting for a reason, sure you may have made it for 2 years this time.
