What would be the normal everyday air pressure for these 35x12.50 SS M16 tires anyone have a idea or what you recommend

Finally got the cruiser out for the first trail ride this thing is a beast

Driving the rig around your yard doesn't really count as taking it out on the trail

Nice rig!

 

[vbcrush]

Very nice! Welcome.

I would go what ever is stamped on your tire.

I just did a quick search on MUD for the chalk test, which is a popular way to determine correct tire pressure. Look at Post 3 in this thread. Tire Pressure

 

[Phildoh]

Guesstimating 30-35psi. The chalk test will tell the truth, as to contact patch vs pressure. No chalk? ArmorAll or any oily spray works on dry concrete if you ha e a hose nearby. Be warned though, itll mark the concrete for decades! My parents complained forever, even mentioned the marks last year, from 20yrs ago, and sold the house 5yrs ago! Antway, those M-16 swampers don't sell too much from what I've noticed. Probably a bit on the stiffer sidewall end with a soft tread IIRC. Save your pennies and get a more modern tire. Not that those aren't, but our 80's are picky when it comes to tires. Rode in my buddies last weak, has 32" all terrains, and seems to track/wander a bit. My 37" Toyo's, smooth and straight at 10, or 80mph, and great off pavement. To each their own really, but the tire debate will never end. Love my Toyo's, had good luck with Goodyear MTRs, BFG A/Ts, and Nittos I've seen are great too.

I went with PFran led's, I love em, many do. Some hate them. Happy wheelin'!

I have went with 38 Psi and tthis seems to really help the ride with the extra weight I have meaning bumpers winch ect. I really like these m16 but just wanting to put a more traditional tire on like a ko'2 I have always had the best results with that tire on my rubicon thanks for the advice guys and by the way I love this forum can't get enough of it

That is one bad-ass looking rig.

But aren't you missing most of the fun if you buy it already like that?

Just kidding. I have to build my own because I'm pore.

I'm from God's country too.
