what tire pressure

[big sexy1]

i have


1100-20 STA Military NDCC tires two michellin two firestone. i think that correct tire pressure is 100 psi. is that correct?

Statically the load and tire inflation pressure affects the contact patch. The larger the load on the tire, the larger the contact patch. Conversley the larger the inflation pressure, the smaller the contact patch.

Read the information on the data tags on your dash. Tire pressue is listed there.(passenger side)

these tires are not going on a deuce so i wouldnt know what the tag says. also i just wanted to know what the max tire pressure was, you see these tires are going on a buggy and were crossing deep water so id like to air them up as much as possible.

What does the sidewall say?

*edit*. We're in the deuce forum so one would assume your putting them on a deuce

Should have said so.

Read the sidewall and use your own discretion depending on tire age and condition. Might consider your rim design and capacity too.

No saying for sure, unfortunately.

You need to read 10 bazzilion posts on tire pressure, fast answer is you do not need to run max pressure unless you are running a max load, and your light buggy will have no traction with over inflated tires. its really up to you after reading all you can, we do not know the terrain, weight of buggy width and length of buggy, your ability, yes ability. running low tire pressure for a desired affect requires some thought and common sense.

OK I just read you are running thru water so you want to run em maxed out ? do you expect to float across Sorry that's funny hope you can take it
