What PSI should you run in your tires?

- The age old question in almost every off-road forum - What PSI should I run in my tires? The answer, like most things in life, isn't as clear cut as you might think. Rather than give you a number, we decided to show you the effects of different air pressures so that you can decide for yourself, based on your riding conditions and driving style, what the answer is.

Good video. I run my Ranger 900xp mostly in the desert on mining roads. My max psi is 20lbs. I have bead lockers so not too worried about tire rolling off. 15 psi seems to be perfect for riding everywhere I go, we are allowed to drive our rigs on streets here in AZ, so it a good pressure for street as well. We do take the rig to Sedona and ride the red rocks, so 10 psi there works for me.
Very informative fellas, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for Sharing!
awesome vid and camera ! never out of focus !
Thanks! We try to keep it informative, entertaining and high quality
cool thing about this video is i can apply the same concept to my sons race quad! thanks for the learning experience! Also you should put a skirt on the acre shaker, she looks real good!
Exactly! This is not only for a SxS but its universal for all off road machines and really anything with tires. The tricky part is that each tire is different because all of this is based on the machine weight, the rider weight, the tire design, the terrain and the riding style. There is no "perfect answer". Find what works for you and go with it.
Excellent !!!!!!!! Proper video!!!! Only a height measurement would have added more. Nice to see a common sense approach to this level of accuracy. I have found significant top speed variance's in these test too. Thanks for the vid
You are right that top speed tests could have been done along with it all but we didn't want to keep making a longer video even longer. Thank you for the kind words. We tried to present a complex and controversial subject in a simple and easy to understand way.
Very good video... thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it.
great vid! thanks guys
Glad it could help someone. Thanks for the comment!
great video gentlemen.....................................................,
Thank you for the kind words. You never know how videos like this will be received.
The problem with super low pressure on rocks is that the tire compresses too much and the rock hits your rim. More in situations where you're moving at speed over rocks than slow crawling.
Yeah pinch flats are a real problem when you run low pressure in rocks. Thanks for the comment!
I'm new to sxs, I have a new to me 2008 Rhino 700 FI Sport Edition. It's nice to know how to properly inflate the tires. I'm gonna have to check my air pressure now that I've seen your video. I'm thinking I'll be adjusting the pressure.
But you don’t want to go that low unless you have beedlocks
Great video. When I load my ATV in the bed of my truck the tires slip on the ramp with itp black water tires. Will try these
Nice videos guys
Thanks
You went through all that and didn’t show the prints side by side, with a tape measure. 😕
what happen with the tires that comes with the rzr turbo s? The form of the tire makes that even at 30 psi touch all the ground.In this case It helps to lower the psi too? (On sand)
Yes it would still help to lower the PSI for sand. That tire on the Turbo S is a very squared tire so it does hold its contact patch a bit better than most.
I must have that cage and windshield. Where did you get it?
The cage is from Spangs Fab in Illinois. . The windshield was just a normal glass one we made fit the cage.
Do y’all still run your tires at 10 PSI and how are you liking the carnivores ? I have Rzr 1000 and I’m looking at getting the carnivores tires as well.
For most applications we still run them between 10 and 12 PSI. (lower for more traction but you have to watch the rocks more). I love the Carnivores over all. They grip really well and seem to be pretty puncture resistant. They are a softer tire than some others so they will wear a bit faster on the roads. But nothing horrible. I would buy them again for sure.

Perfect, thank you for your help
Radial I suppose @35 psi max…why wasn’t it explained ?…
"Look at that thing juggle when you hit it". That's what she said, Jk. Great video and very informative.
LOL we thought the same thing but didnt want to say it in the video. Thanks for the kind words. We would like to educate the UTV/ATV world as much as possible on proper setup so they get the most out of their machine.
My brand new X3 had 22 psi from the dealership. 😂🤣
Yeah it is always worth checking. Thanks for the comment!
35 psi max to set the bead . I really doubt that’s 35psi max operational pressure. More like 18psi .
No sir. 35 psi is max operating pressure. I would think no one would run it there but it is fully capable of running that and some people actually do due to just not knowing.
That is the max psi to seat the bead lol
Tire pressure to seat the bead can vary based on the sidewall thickness, tolerance of the tire bead size and the wheel barrel design. Normally you dont want to be over 30 PSI on an off road tire to seat the bead. I have taken them up to around that pressure then bounced the wheel and tire on the ground to jar the tire into seating before.
what's the name of your tires please 🙂
Maxis Carnivores
What size tires?
The tires in that video are 30x10x14 on all 4 corners
With beadlockers 8 PSI.
While for you specific tire and terrain 8 PSI may be great you can not make a blanket statement saying that it is "the right PSI". The right psi depends on the weight of the machine, the terrain driven on, the tire carcass, and the type of driving being done (among other things). So while 8 PSI may work in one situation it would be bad in another on the exact same machine.
Informative but please skip the attempts at humor.Feeble attempts at that.
Okay Karen, anymore request ?
Cool, lets see you make a video.
Yeah, we still don’t have the answer to the original question this video was supposed to provide. All we got was some crappy head banging noise you all call music.
