im goin to glamis this weekend and i dont no if i will be able to get padels, so i might have to go with stock tires. i no that you get better traction if you have lower tire pressure. i was just woundering how low i should go. my friend said about 2 psi but that seems alittle low to me. i was just woundering what you guys think. thanks

When I ran stockers in the sand, I was running at 3 psi on the rears. Seem to work fine, but it can depend on the sand conditions.

i think you should listen to your friend. He sounds pretty damn smart. 2 or 2.5 sounds perfect. because your running a 2 stroke and all. you should be happy that you get to go

Don't sweat it.. you won't even need paddles especially for glamis. I usually run 2.5-3 psi in the rear. I never run paddles on my 400 and it ticks along up all of the stuff at Dumont as long as you keep the R's up and momentum. And the Dumont Dunes are much steeper. Have fun.
