what PSI do you run in those badlands, bighorns, ATR tires mounted on beadlocks?

I had my ATR's kind of hard at about 6 lbs. But, I was getting a lot of feedback, so I have now gone down to 4 lbs. They aren't on beadlocks though.

I was running 6 psi in my ( front ) ATR's, but they work much better with 3-4 psi, but these are not mounted on beadlocks ( mounted on a set of ITP Magnum Billets ), & that pressure, IMO, is to low for competitive cornering ... I will switch them to a bead lock wheel, If I continue to compete with them... I have a set of 26" Goodyear MTR radials mounted on double beadlock Keizer wheels... I run 7 psi in the fronts, to help with the "roll over" of the taller sidewalls, on that narrow tire... I run 4 psi in the rears, as they are 11" wide, & this pressure provides great tire performance, & the tire is wide enough, that "roll over" is not a problem... My Keizers are custom double beadlocks with custom offsets, 6" wide in the fronts, & 8" wide in the rears... ( the MTR's are just over 25" O.D. on the fronts, & just over 26" O.D. on the rears... this is part of the reason for different air pressures & wheel widths, as with my setup, they are both very close to 26" O.D. ) ...
