front 6psi
rr 5 psi

These settings are not for hill racing, but for jumping, I have had problems keeping my rear tires beaded up at lower pressure and once you loose a bead in the sand it hell to get it to seal back up without catching small grains in the bead allowing them to leak down

I agree too, that is if you want traction. I can't beleive you can start with 9 lbs in them without getting stuck. I have tried it before and if you just want to sling the rear end around its fun.
