Default Eton DXL90 tire pressure

Anyone know what the tire pressure should be set at on a 2000 Eton DXL90? The rider weight is about 60-65lbs.
Thank you in advance.
Matt

Not too sure for your specific brand but to me, many mini-ATV tires are the same. It all depends on your young riders riding conditions and what lbs you like the best. For soft mud and sand, many like 3.0 lbs. For hard surfacs like hard dirt and ice, I like 5 lbs the best. On pointed rocks and twigs, some like 3.5ish. For us, I like harder tires on ice and hard dirt. The harder they are, the more chance the mini's wheels will spin, instead of digging in and doing a wheelie. For twigs and hard rocks, the softer tires will reduce the risk of punctures. And, the softer tires gives a smoother ride. Never go above 6lbs of pressure. If I remember correctly, most tires say 3.5 lbs on the outside of their rubber.

Many will suggest to try between 3.0 and 5.0 lbs for each riding condition, then use what you think is best. For measuring under 10 lbs, you'll need a special tire lbs tester. Regular car tire pressure tool doesn't have the proper scale to get all tires at the same pressure.

Hope this helps....
