Default What should I keep my PSI at?

I was wondering how much PSI I should have in the front and rear tires of my Warrior 2000. The tires are dunlop and the treading is like these little rectangular treads with the inside cut out sorts like this [ ]. I'm sure you guys will figure it out what I'm talking about, but yeah what should I keep the PSI at? Right now they're 7 in the front and 5.5 in the rear.

7 PSI and 5 PSI sounds about right. I don't check mine with a gauge, but I pump them up until they will only mash in about 1" when you step on them lightly. If you run them too low, you run a greater risk of busting the sidewalls on rocks and roots, especially when sliding thru a turn. If you run them too tight, the centers will wear out faster and they will beat you to death, so you have to find a happy medium that works for you. I had a friend that ran his rears really low so when he did long wheelies he could lean and go around sharper turns with the flatter tires. I run mine kind of tight to avoid punctures because my rear tires are soft for better traction, but offer little protection. So it's really what works for you. One other trick - Keep the PSI levels equal left to right to avoid pulling one way or the other during wheelies.

I run around 4 in the back and 4 1/2 in the front but alot can also depend on the conditions you ride in.
