im wondering what the best tire pressure to run is? i usually run 10lbs in the front on my ITP 19x6-10's, and 7lbs in my Tamer 18x9.5-8 rears. but i read on doug gust's site to run 15 front and 10 rear? what do you all run? i have a race tomorrow and its a hardpacked, supercross style track, any ideas on pressure?

If you weight a buck something..8lbs should be good on the rear.14 on front...I weight 145 and that's what I run on the track with beadlocks.

i weigh around 145 also.. my rears are on beadlocks but the fronts arent. i just put 15 in my front and 10 in the rear. and it seems like the ride is rougher, but the steering is quicker and it spins more on loose.. will 15/ 8 be good? because i liek the front, its just the rear spins a little to much for my liking..

This what doug's website says.

Hard-Packed:

- Soft rubber compound

- REAR: 12 psi

- FRONT: 18 psi (w/o beadlocks)

- FRONT: 12 psi (with beadlocks)



Sand and soft:

- Harder rubber compound

- REAR: 12 psi

- FRONT: 18 psi (w/o beadlocks)

- FRONT: 12 psi (with beadlocks)



Wet conditions:

- Soft rubber compound

- REAR: 8-10 psi

- FRONT: 18 psi (w/o beadlocks)

- FRONT: 12 psi (with beadlocks)
