ok, i have a question, i know when you have beadlocks, you can run a lower pressure rating in your tires...

but im stumped on how low to go

can anyone give me some ratings for different terrains on beadlocks?

the muddier, the less tire pressure, at seymour gncc i was running my rears around 3.5-4 psi, the less you have, the better you will hook up in the slop

as for the dry/rockier types, you would want to add a little more
