how many lbs. of pressure in tires?

soft muddy - 3 to 4 psi - best foot print
trail - 6 psi - best steering / good ride
snow - 7 psi - highest off the ground / smallest foot print

i would agree w/ that setting of air pressure for eack one of those condtions as well. only thing i would add is 3to 4 psi on rocks as well to grip better.

i run about 4 to 5 psi most of the time b/c most of my trails we ride are just what you described and seems to ride and handle the rough ground better.

recon,

Have you slimed your tires? If you haven't, you really need to. It helps a lot.
