How much Air should I be running in my 26x12 rear and 26x10 front Mudbugs on stock rims on a 2000 Honda 450ES ? I do the average type of trail riding and a fair bit of muddin. The temp. here in the siummer is about 75 degrees on average.

With all these things considered , whats the optimal PSI for me or your best guess ??

Y2K 450ES: Supertrapp IDS2, Dynojet Stage 1 , K&N Filter , Heated Grips/Thumb , Warn 2500 , Lift kit , 26" Mudbugs , ShockWears , 36.5W Halogen Headlamps , OXLite CV/Boot Guards , Rockhard Skid Plate

 

For that size tire, I would run 4-5lbs myself. Thats what I always ran on my stock Titan 495's. The ride is still fine with that much.

 

Also, I don't know if I've asked you this yet, but did the IDS2 and the jet kit boost your power very much? I am wondering how noticeable the gain is compared to how much the kit costs. Would you say worth $300+ or not?

 

Heres my opinion. It was absolutely worth it ! I lost wheel speed when I put the 26ers on and gained all that back plus more since the jet/pipe/k&n . I wouldnt hesitate to do it again. Even at 300.00 ! ITS WORTH IT !

 

Back to my Tire Dilemma !
Someone must know the proper answer to this....


How many PSI ??
