off road can run down to single digits.

quad bikes are no more than about 10 psi.

Yeah, but we're talking about a 1000kg racecar. Not a quad bike!

My question would have been better worded "what pressures were you running?"

Sorry for the confusion. :)

If the beads are locked on the rim as I think biggvl's are you can run low psi, I know a lot of 4wd guys do, just can't remember if he's running them

Lol :lol: , the Inside front wheel is only for parking, to get ideal weight transfer we have often run as low as 5psi, sorry tdracer you are wrong.

All rims are bead locked, they have no hope of staying on the rims even at 15psi. We used to glue the beads when i used to race street stock.

Photo to follow of tyre pressures as run last night. Theres no secrects there cause every car is balanced different, so one set of pressures donesnt suit all cars.

One thing to not forget, tyre pressures have a direct effect on spring rate of each corner of the car...
