Probly 3-6. Lower for more traction, higher if you want to spin more-basically.

Skat Trak told me it's the other way around. More pressure equals more traction. Their reasoning was at low pressures, the scoops just fold over in the sand. With more pressure in the tires, the scoops stay rigid, and penetrate deeper into the sand. I've been running mine between 5-7 psi front and rear.
