Just wanted to know what tire pressure most people run on and if aftermarket tires should be ran different, thanks

all depends on the type of riding. Jumping you put more in so you dont bend the wheel. More pressure means more tire spin but easier to whip around on the ground. less pressure makes for a smoother ride over roots and such and hooks up good.

I run 10PSI in my fronts and 8PSI in my rears now after bending my wheels from jumping on a lower tire pressure. When I know i'm not jumping I run 7PSI in the front and 5PSI in the rear.

thanks for the feedback. The reason asked is because the thing has been sittin for awhile and the tires were low, thanks again.

I'd like to add to this thread and ask others to do the same. I race XC and run 6psi in the front and 4psi in the rear. For all you XC racers out there, what pressures to ya'll run?

I run 6 in the front and 2 in the rear (beablocks) and have no issues with razor 2s. the pics dont show them rolling to much either.

Non-beadlocks I usually run an even 5psi on all 4 tires.

With my beadlocks and Razr2 fronts / Razr Rears I run 4.5psi front, 3.5 psi rear.

A lot depends on the terrain. Rockier conditions you may want a bit more, loamier conditions a bit less.
