Just ordered new Razor 2s for my 300ex, 20-11-9 rear, 22-7-10 front. What tire pressure do I run for Southern Indiana (mud, clay, coal, minimal rocks). Do I have the right tire sizes also? Decreasing rear by 2 inches from stock, it doesn't slide well and wants to tip over.

i would probably run about 3 or 4 psi.

Owner's Manual says 4.4 front/2.9 rear. I run 4 and 3. So that's about right, can't wait for smaller back tires.

6.5-7psi F&R for non-beadlock wheels, if you're running beadlocks you can go lower.

No bead locks on my tires. 6-7 PSI when the book says 3-4. That is a stock tire I run now at 3-4.

BTW, cool site. I liked the prepping for trade.

Thanks :)

As for the tires, running the stockers at 3-4lbs is fine, but the Razrs are a whole different animal. The last I heard Maxxis recommended about 7lb for non-beadlock wheels, but I'll drop a bit below that if I feel like the conditions call for it.

I was running stock pressure with 23" forunts and 22" rears and the tries gave me a tippy feel. Pappy told me to run 5psi and that seems to work good for me, took most of the tippy feel out.

if U want to slide a lot you got the wrong tires, just look at the tred and you will see why they dont slide well.

I have razr's on the back and only run 2.5 psi with no problem.
