I run what the tire/manual tells me to run [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Since the tires are such low psi, there's not much wiggle room or you could blow the bead.

15psi [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]. Run 3psi to 4psi and you will be fine.

PSI IS Pound Per Square inch, it isnt how much air is in their, but the force of the air in the tire.. if you know what i mean.
