M818: Recommended Tire Pressures?

[MyothersanM1]

For those of you running traditional 11 x 20 NDT's, what is the optimum tire pressures, that you prefer, for running on the hard pavement?? Especially taking steering axle drift and ride quality into account. Thanks!

60 psi, all around.

Do you get bounced around much?

I run 75-80 psi in the fronts and 50-55 psi in the rears, for the NDT's (note that the NDT's that I run are newer production Titan's, not the older Cooper's, Armstrong's or Goodyear's). Ride quality is a bit rough, but it works well for pavement travel.

The M818's that I have that have 14.00 x 20's and 16.00 x 20's, I run 45-55 psi all the way around.

The M816 that I just sold w/ 11.00 x 20 Michelin XL's had 100 psi in the fronts and 75 in the rears, and it rode like a Cadillac, compared to an M818 w/ NDT's.

unless you got some weight on the back of the 818. the 8 bias-ply tires your going to get bouncy as its a spring suspension and nothing to cause it to have a little "give" in it.

I find that 60 psi is an all around compromise. If I'm going to be loaded heavier, on a long run, then more air. But usually its short stuff and mind you, the ride is not really super. Lower air would be a little better, but not in winter, when its cold, you should be adding more air, to compensate for the lower temps.
