Default Paddle Pressure

Hey guys, how much pressure do you think I should be running at Glamis? I'm running ITP Sandstars and I weigh 220lbs...

I run 3-1/2 to 5 Lbs in the rear tires. For me it depends on the terrain. I run lower pressure to get more traction and higher pressure if I want to break the rear wheels loose more. I weigh about 195Lbs. Too much air pressure will have you digging holes. Air you tires up higher (7-8lbs), make a few launches and a few turns and see how it feels. Drop a 1-2 pounds in each tire and try it again. Keep dropping and see what feels good. Don't go too low as you may pop the tire off the bead (stay above 3Lbs).

alpharaptor660r-There should never be a need to go beyond 5 lbs at the most regardless of your weight.I am 260 lbs and i usually run 3 1/2 to 4 lbs with no problems so you should be fine to do the same.
