All I can say is WOW! These tires look great! I hope they hook up as good as they look. Boy are they stiff. They came with like 7-8lbs of pressure, and hard as a rock. I lowered the pressure until I felt a little give. At 3.5psi I stopped. Does anyone go lower? They wont give at all to the suspension like the stockers did. What pressure do you run them at?
I was a little surprised to see the sticker on the wheels saying "Not for Competition, Recreational use Only". Yikes! I plan on riding this thing like it was intended to, big air, sliding around corners, just generally running as hard as I am capable. It would really suck to break a rim. Anyone ever have a problem with these?

I run 5lb in my kenda bear claws but 4/5lb is the norm.

The Bear Claws ride very rough with 5 lbs of air on my Wolverine. I lowered front and rear down to 2 lbs with no problems. Makes a big difference in the ride. Most of my riding is low speed trails.
