What tire pressure should I use off road?
Most people air down when on the trails...
Some down to 20 psi, some to 15 psi,
some to 10 psi, some to 5 psi... see for yourself what works and what doens't.
When airing down, consider these:
- Increases the contact area of the tire, so more floatation
- Smoother ride
- Decreases the contact pressure since the vehicle weight will be spread over a
larger area
- Easier to damage the sidewall
- Need compressor to air back up after the fun is over
- If pressure too low, risk of tire coming off the bead
