Sounds pretty good to me. I run mine at 5 psi all the way around.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Sounds good to me also.

I run 6 in the front and 5 in the rear in my 26" mudrunners.

What kind of true tire height are getting with those psi's?

How is the handling with the mudlites at higher speeds? (>35 mph)

92lt,
i think the mudlites handle great. ive been up to 50 mph so far and they handle as well as the stock s#$* dunflops. even better, the front end diving on my quad has been severely reduced. i was going to get the progressive suspension but i think i am going to hold off for now.

davec,
ill measure them when i get a chance.

Basically the way I do it is play around with the pressure. Example if I find the atv rough I take a bit of air out of the rear. If it stears heavy add air in the front. Only you can tell what is a good pressure. All that I suggest is test drive with lot of different pressure's. I know someone that runs 3 in the rear. Personally I find that it makes body role for nothing.

Good luck
