Default ok what psi?

Whst psi should i run in these mudlites, they are really stiff considering that they are a 6 ply tire, so my question to any of you is; How much air should be in my tires for trail riding?

thanks for reading

ok so i can either use no air, nitrogen or run 8 in the front and 5 in the back.?
so i guess its just a matter of how you ride, but poppin wheelies and slinging the rear end around seems like it would be easier with not as much air in the tires, i assume my assumptions are correct, tonight im going to lower the fronts to 8 and the rears to 5, and feel it out.


thanks for responding
