    M925 A2 very disappointed in ability

    What tire pressure for 1600s on an M818?

    I have a M54a2 with 1600 tires and I run 45lbs in the rears and 55 lbs in the front. Much nicer ride and no issures with heat on 4+hour trips. My first trip was at 85 lbs and we spent half the time in the air off the seat from the bumps [5 hours] not much fun. gGood luck Mike
