I have new 285 BF All Terrains. What tire pressure front and back should I try for a loose track and also pressure for a tight track ? Thanks

these questions are hard answers to get, because of the variance in track conditions , weight added, power levels, etc, i would say 99% of the time hard in the rear, with less air in the front since the front is usually unloaded(compared to the rears) while pulling the sled, a safe range would be 45 to 65 in the rear, 30 to 45 in the front,

I don't lower mine very much, because I have to drive it home. maybe 10-15 lbs lower than I would normally run them, front and rear.

Thanks Dale I had no idea with All Tarains always used mud terrains and blew them up hard so they would spinn easier . This will be different now. Thanks see you Sat. Roger

My bfgs i usually left the rears at 55lbs(pending track condition), but would only drop 10 lbs max anyways. Fronts would drop down to 25-30lbs, again all pending on conditions. My truxus tires i leave the rear at 50lbs and the fronts usually go down to 20-25lbs. Like bigD said it all depends on track condition, weight on truck and tire selection, so theres alot of variables between truck to truck

Wiht 285x75x16 BFG AT's on stock PYO rims I always max out my rear tire pressure at 65psi. The front air pressure depends if I'm hanging weight or not. With 1100-1250# hanging on the front I run about 35-40 psi. Without hanging weight I run about 20-25psi
