Thanks for the advice I’m gonna try that, 12 psi is way too low for me. Tires almost feel like there’s nothing in them.20 psi is way to high. I run mine at 12 psi in all four corners. If you are running fast and hard, I would maybe go 16 psi in all four. 20 will give you a much rougher ride as you will lose flex in the sidewalls, and will wear the center of the tread, just like running high pressures in your car tires. You would also lose traction for the same reason. Your contact patch will be smaller and they won't wrap around rocks and such. You will also be more susceptible to punctures. Kind of the same principle as a balloon, just as a crude example.
Yea definitely a sidewalk issue. Factory calls for 17 in the rear. Carnivores aren’t a good fit for me. Switching to all terrains when these wear out.Tires say 18 max on them. I'm running 16 rear and blew out a side wall yesterday. Seems like a weak sidewall to me. I'm thinking about switching to Mongrels or Terrabites.
I like those, I’m gearing more towards a BFG K02. I’d love to have more water/mud trails here to support the carnivore/rampage.Maxxis Rampages look good too
See I'm North Carolina/VA/ WVI like those, I’m gearing more towards a BFG K02. I’d love to have more water/mud trails here to support the carnivore/rampage.
Bad ass man I wish we had stuff like that hereSee I'm North Carolina/VA/ WV
So we ride hatfeild McCoy trails often.
6 - 8 front 10 rear. better traction and softer ride and can still drift around corners.Factory 17 rear 12 front. Seems a little too low for me. Anyone running anything different? I’m thinking of pumping them all up to 20psi. Might get a better ride and more life out of the tires.
These are big differences in opinion. As I’m wrestling the same question can you add riding conditions to couple with those numbers?6 - 8 front 10 rear. better traction and softer ride and can still drift around corners.
I stuck with the 12-17 seems to work great in all conditions. I’ve gone through about 4 feet of mud with water pouring in from the doors and passed through with no issues. I also went on some dunes and didn’t have a problem climbing anything. Yesterday I went through some very rocky terrain and again worked out great. I think that is the sweet spotThese are big differences in opinion. As I’m wrestling the same question can you add riding conditions to couple with those numbers?
Tough to find a perfect pressure and never will. Ride deep mud, loose rock, exposed rock and hard pack in a day with not one being a higher percentage than another.
Minimum is 10 and max is 18 so far. May have to try 6-8 although concerned about sidewall support
