It seems like thr recommended 4 psi isnt enough. I inflated all to 10psi and it seems pretty good. What pressure is everyone running at???

Normal pressure resulted into to much hook-up. Pumped it up to 7psi; the baby slides and glides like an F-16.

7-8 pounds of air works better all around. Less flats also.

I ran 7-8 all around until I hit a sharp rock on the left front and sliced the sidewall open. I think if I would of had only 3-4, it may have absorbed the impact and not cut it, but that is only a guess.

I'm running 6 1/2 to 7 lbs as well. Although, I have a plug in the right front tire, and another in the left rear tire. If I get 1 more hole or slice, I'm going to try 4-5 lbs. Less pressure may allow the tire to absorb some of the punishment better.
