I sometimes run as low as 3.5 psi in mine if I want The extra give for climbing over rocks or The little bit of extra traction for mud. And have had no problems as of yet.

I can guarantee you that with Mud Lites,and almost any atv wheels(other than bead locks) you'll lose the beads before you can go anywhere...Also, riding an atv with a flat tire is the easiest way to destroy the tires carcass...Last set of ITP Mud Lites I owned(27,or 28s) would pop off the ITP wheel beads if they were under 2 psi with a simple turn of the bars...

how do you run a flat (0psi) tire?

unless it's in deep mud 100% of the time or it has 12 ply side walls- who ever told you that is smoking some bad stuff even my 30" 6 ply silverbacks will fold or pinch with zero psi in the tire- not to mention, you'd have zero control over the steering and handling in any trail.

ever try to ride an atv bact to the truck with a hole in it? not fun. even 2psi is pushing fate- very easy to fold & pinch the sidewall under 4 psi on most atv tires.
