|   Tire Pressure? What PSI should I run......... | Hit the Dirt
Sep 18, 2003 11:01 AM | | hey all
I a looking for some advice on tire PSI. I just put a 2.3 Conti Vertical Portection on the front and a 2.24 WTB Mutano Raptor on the rear of my Yeti ASR. I mostly ride loose rock and dirt around the front range of Colorado. I am a cross country/ trail rider, no big drops. Any suggestions? Can you run them lower than the recommended?
Thanks |

So far for technical single tracks, medium to hard soil, rocks and roots I find lower is better- around 35-40psi. For hardpack wider fire road riding, back up to 40-45psi. Since my tires are still kind of new (tread blocks are still full height) the higher pressures make them seem a bit squirrelly in the corners on harder surfaces. |
