MX tire pressure

[Scro]

Ok...I'm new to the whole MX thing. I've got 18" Klaws on the rear. When I try to slide into a corner, they try to grab too much. I was running about 5 pounds in them.

If I put about 7 or 8 in them, will it help it at all? How much do you guys run?

8 psi in rear 10 psi in front

i have the 18" Klaws in the rear and 20" in the front and i like them at 10 psi all around. Just keep playing with the psi tell you get it were you like it

usually a higher pressure will make them bite less or break loose a little better in the corners and a lower pressure will help them bite more, i run klaw's front and rear, 12 psi front, 8 - 10 psi rear depending on track conditions.

You dont want your front tires to slide so id put about 10psi and then have the backs harder to where you liek them basically like atvfrk said.

I have trouble keeping my 18" klaws on the rims when i run under 10 psi in the rear. The fronts are great, but ive broken 2 beads off during a race on the rear under 10 psi, be careful m8

maybe u should save up for some used beadlocks. i run 7 in front and 5 in rear on my mxer. i like it because i can break the tires lose when needed and they can always hook up when needed.

klaw rears dont slide as easy as other tires.. what kind of track are you riding on
