Tire pressures for 6 8.50 tires, asphalt use

Post by Sam Rutherford »

Hi,

I'm thinking 25, any advice up or down from there?

Thanks, Sam.



PS tailwheel 'as high as she'll go!' is also what I have heard!

I uae 25 main, 45 tailwheel because I am 99% on asphalt.
I believe I got those recommendations from Jeremy, with
the suggestion that you adjust the pressure so that the first
groove on the tire edge is hitting pavement.
