I'm hitting the dunes this weekend. Does anyone know the optimum air pressure for tires in the sand? I run the sand sharks.

I have noticed that the sand is different at different dunes, so I don't know that there is an ideal pressure. I do know that higher pressure will give you more roost, and lower pressure will give you more bite. I usuall run 5-6 psi in back (w/ Sand Skate II's) & 8-9 psi in front (OEM tires).

one thing to remember is that the more pressure you have, the moree wheel spin and less traction you will have, which might be more fun in a four stroke, that has lest top end than a 2, and might be harder to brreak loose in the sand. and vise versa,, as you lower the pressure, you will get better traction.
