Looking for some insight on tire pressure. Most of the tracks we pull on are clay, we have one that is sandy. I typically run 8 psi on the clay tracks and do very well. I do no where near as good with this sandy track. So I’m assuming I should air up my tire for this one particular track. Question is, how much? Was thinking about going to 12 psi.

If It doesn't crown out too much it shouldn't hurt anything. Leon

If you have mastered your tires traction performance on all but one particular track, you have achieved what most of us are still trying to do. Sometimes, there are tracks that don't like your tires and there's not much you can do about it. Rim width, bar/lug wear and height, tire brand, etc, etc. Give it a try. 12 psi is what they should normally have anyway.

Thanks. Good hard tracks, I’ve gotten it dialed in. These loose tracks give me issues.
