Tire pressure ?
« on: March 14, 2019, 11:51:47 AM »
Took the uforce 500 out for a spin with the wife driving.  Some snow but mostly frozen fields.  The ride was brutal !  Is anyone running tires under inflated from dealer specs to improve the ride....pros- cons ? Thanks

All these should be between 7 and 12PSI depending on the need. I run mine at 8-8.5psi. What's printed on the tire is max sustained pressure and bead setting pressure (about 30psi) but for normal riding they are just slightly higher then an ATV.

Stock suggested pressures are teeth jarring. I run 6 and 7 and it's much better.

Yeah the only reason I stay above 7 is that once at 7psi I slipped-off the side of a hole and when it impacted on the bottom it popped both beads on that side. These factory wheels fit tire beads so loosely...at least on mine...that I can let the air out and just push down and slide the bead right off where it takes my tire machine and lots of choice words on other wheels. When I replace these wheels and tires I will be able to go as low as I want. In the meantime its 7.5-9psi depending on conditions.
