Mine are 10 ply which is all I could find in that size and are rated to about 80 psi. Would 50 or 60 be enough. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | With no load, try starting with 40-45 psi. If the handling seems a little squirrely, bump the pressure up by about 5 psi and recheck.

Between 40-45psi is where I end up.
