Hey guys, just had a question about what pressure I should run in my tires for best traction in the snow on my trailboss 300. I still have the original stock dunlops on it and they are starting to get pretty worn so any tips would help.

I run 5 psi in my 27" claws all year round, but this winter I am dropping them to 4 psi. the cold weather makes the rubber a little stiffer, but by dropping the pressure a touch, mine ride pretty nice.

I don't have much experience in snow, yet, but had the best luck so far with about 4 - 4 1/2 in the front, and about a half pound to pound less in the rear.

If you ride in soft, fluffy snow with no bumps, flatten 'em right down to get a good, wide footprint.(just make sure it ain't to flat, or you'll be mounting the tires back onto the rims often)
