  • Air them high or low??

    I got my new 22" AT189's installed. Wondering how I should inflate them!



    I tried too late to take pictures of them installed, too low-light for my cell phone.

    So I have them inflated to 4 PSI. What are the pros and cons of high PSI vs low PSI? I guess more PSI means bigger tires / more ground clearance? I read where most everyone runs the PSI as low as possible. Do the benefits of low pressure outweigh the benefits of high pressure?

    Any input would be majorly appreciated!!

    Ride quality and traction. The higher the pressure the more the bumps are transferred to your back. Second is traction. I run at 3psi. this gives the tires the ability to conform to stuff and grab better at slower speeds.

      you have to inflate them so they are all close to the same diameter.

        What he said ^^^ 3 PSI seems to be the sweet spot for my tires also.
