This is the first time i have owned mx tires and i need to know what tire pressure i should run. The mx tracks around here have hardpacked and sandy and have large jumps.

I usually do 10psi front and rear. Sometimes a little more in the front, sometimes a little less in the rear.

You better put more air in them. Especially if your not running double beadlocks. I broke my arm when my bead popped on a jump and dug into the dirt and threw me.

You shouldnt run any less than 6 in the rear, not more than 10.

no less than 12 and no more than 18 in the front.

All this is saying for a dry MX track, with your usual jumps etc.

It depends on how much of a jumper you are, if you have bead locks etc..
