Max IV tire rubbing

[sgtlane04901]

My front tires on my Max IV seem to be rubbing. Is it bearings or tub sag?

[rcn11thacr]

Is the body sagging? I'm not the resident expert mind you: jack up the offending side and see if there is up and down, side to side play when you shake the tires. It thats not an issue (and the body is sagging on that side) then just jack up the side thats sagging and leave it in the hot sun for a day and night. Then take off the jack the next morning.

Looks like the tire is over inflated.

Yup too much air pressure... Norm

See, i told you i wasnt the resident expert

I have 10 psi in them. How much do you think I should have?

[Mike]

If you have k-lock wheels, then run 1-2PSI. If you have the older non k-lock wheels, run 4-5PSI to help keep them on the wheel.

And do not sweat it I'm learning every time I work on it. Go Black horse!

I will try 5 psi thank you all

I just looked in your gallery and you have the newer k-lock wheels.



By all means, do not run 5 PSI. Get a low pressure tire gauge and run a true 2 PSI. There is a HUGE difference in ride quality and since you have the k-lock wheels, there is no reason not to lower the pressure that much. You just have to make sure you have a low pressure gauge, otherwise the reading won't be accurate.

Hey man you are picking this up pretty quickly, but I expect that from a fellow cavalryman.

Thanks again Mike funny thing is I was outside with a flashlight trying to figure out what type I had. Yes I was in my underwear. That's why I live in the Maine woods.

A scout is supposed to be proactive pick up taskes quickly to facilitate the mission. I have not lost my touch

Being that this is my first 6x6 that i've owned (or even seen in person for that matter) i'm learning new things all the time.

HI
A 2 1/2 inch or 4 inch 0-15 psi tire gage is the what u need . Most tires that are 26 12 12 4 ply or smaller 8/9 inch will be max operation pressure 5 psi .
Fitting pressure is another story .
If u run an older tire above the 5psi or use excessive fitting pressure they will go an egg shape or be really pointy compared to a younger tire .The polyester/nylon cords [these form the tire ply rating ] inside the tire break .
