Please list the amount of air pressure, the width and hieght of the tire, and the quad you have it on. I have a honda 300 4x4 with 24X9-11 vampires on front with 15psi for easy steering. On the back I have 25X12-11 vamps with 10 psi, for a little smoother ride and a slight bit more traction than the front.

Hey matt!

It depends on what type of riding I'm doing. I prefer to keep mine down to about 4 or 5 psi for most mud applications. I prefer this because the more pressure you put in the tires the less "contact space" you have with the ground. I've found that running them at low pressure (factory recommended) they have more bite in the mud because they have more tread in the mud.

On the other hand if I know I'm going into some deep stuff (usually watery also) then I pump up to between 15 and 20 psi for the extra flotation.
