Default What tiere pressure for Kodiak, 3.2 or 32 PSI?

The sticker on my kodiak says 3.2 PSI, but the tires say not to inflate over 36 PSI. I figure the tires should be SOMETHING like a cars tires, which is in the 30 something PSI range, but the manual also says 3.3 PSI. Is this right?

By the way, I picked up my grease gun, needle attachment, and 90 degree part at AutoZone matching the number with the one LightMan provided. I haven't been able to lube it up yet (two toddlers take up a lot of time), but did bore holes in the angle framing of the trailer and put eye bolts on. I'm getting there!

The 3.2 psi is the correct pressure. The 36 psi on the side wall is for seating the bead on freshly mounted tires. I believe it even says do not exceed 36 psi when seating the bead on the tire itself.

I think that you should try 50 psi and use a digital video camara and see what happens. HaHa!

the manual states, 3.2 PSI to 4 PSI MAX..... but... i am still looking for the slim line 90 degree adapter, since up here in canada we don't have Autozones, and i can find anywhere that sells "OEM Industrial" products [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
