Tire Pressure?

[Papa]

Anyone know the best tire pressure to run on bsr's. I have about 10 lbs. on Maxxis slicks but not sure if it's anywhere close.

Hey Papa,

I run around 25 - 30psi on my Burris Treaded Tires and it handles pretty good. 10lbs sounds a little low, but I may be wrong.

Thats what I'm running. I was running 30 psi but with the rough roads here it was beating me to death (I'm old...) I'm interested in what others are running also!:cheers:

WOW I only run with about 4 or 5 pounds on a 6" wheel 8" wide.:lush:

[Papa]

Thanks for the info guys. First chance I get I'll experiment with it to see what rides best.

is it normal for tires not to hold air longer thant 4 or 5 days?

[Prowrench22]

Yep that's normal especially when they have a slow leak in them the air just goes out slow and with a bigger hole the air leaks out faster :laughing:

o? it must say in my profile that im an idiot. when i check the tires in a bucket of water they dont bubble. i was told thats how alot of go kart tires are. its not like the tires have a hole in them they just leak.

For my racing kart we run 5-8 pound depending on the track. The race weight of our kart is 325 pounds with my son in it. Most of my racing tires only hold that pressure for a day or so..Racing tires are soft and the rubber does allow air to "seep" out over time. I noticed that some say they are running 25+ psi, wow, the manufacturer only recommends 35 max to seat the beads, then to remove that pressure, then refill to about 10 psi.:smash:

For my BSR, I weight about 200 and the stool weight is?? 100 pounds??, I run the Firestone asphault slicks at about 10-11 psi in the rear so that the tread is full contact with the ground. I run about 10 in the front, but my go down to 8 to help smooth out the bumps.....:thumb:
