Ben2k9 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Manual says 28psi. At this pressure tires sag a little at the bottom. Is this the right pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 35 PSI all around. 29 worked with the old flimsy tires, but not with what most are running now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I agree. I do 35 with the nose wheel and small 4.00-6 tires. The 6.00-6 mains we use 26-27 psi around here. The reason is the weight they can support over the 4.00-6. The 4.00-6 6 ply can support 660 lbs for each tire vs the 6.00-6 can support around 1760 each. Putting 35 in a 6.00-6 makes it one hard stiff tire. The little lower pressure in the larger 6.00-6 6 plys gives you a little cushion to if you plunk it down.

This part of the manual is old and hasn't ever been updated. Keep 29 psi in the front and have just a couple of psi leak out and you may turn a tire and pull the stem out of the tube. It has happened to many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I've started running a bead of rubber cement around our rims. Just a little on the top and bottom (1/5th of circumference each, not the full circumference). Even with low tire pressure, they do NOT rotate, and I've not seen a tube turn yet. It works well enough that breaking the bead takes a little more work. I've got a bead breaker and it's not that difficult, doing it by hand might be a bit harder.
