What tire pressure ar eyou running? To set the bead they usually have to put in like 30psi, but you want to run at like 10psi.

Actually it may be a lower operating pressure. My stockers say 5 psi max operating pressure. Since I am a large man I run a little higher to keep my rims from turning into tacos. Mmmm... tacos.

Hey chirochris,
I run about 3lbs in my Holeshots which are 4 and 6 ply and found them to work the best in all around conditions.

I would definitely say no more than 3 or 4 lbs of air and that should do the trick on most any surfaces. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I can also say from experience that the razr 2's are a harder tire compared to like hoeshots. With the six ply on I only ran enough air pressure to keep the tire on, like 2psi. I don't have alot of experience with diff tires but I like 4 ply on the rear much better. My opinion only. RUSS
