Just curious as to why certian people lower there tire pressures for stunting. I would just like to know how it helps.

and what would you put your tire at?

I leave 25psi in my rear and like 30 in my front. The only reason I put in 25psi is to corner wheelies better. Other guy's need lower pressure for 12's

 

Whatever you do don't lower your rear pressure too much. I dropped mine down pretty low because it's been cold and it spins when I wheelie. But I found out the hard way when you land stoppies sideways very hard, learning 180's, it will bend the crap out of your rim. Not a very cheap mistake.

Just my .02 cents of experience.

 

BLEAVE IT OR NOT, BUT I RUN 8-12 PSI WHEN STUNTING..AND SOMETIMES I FORGET ABOUT IT AND RIDE AROUND WITH 8-12 PSI AND RIDE IT LIKE I GOT 30PSI....I GET USE TO IT AFTER A LITTLE, JUST WHEN THE TIRE IS COLD IT KINDA WANTS TO SLIDE OUT ...AND THE REASON FOR LOW TIRE PSI IS TO KEEP IT STABLE AT LOW SPEED ****.:D

 

I think I m understanding now. Thanks for the replys and the good info. I guess I ll check to see what my tires at and find a happy medium from what all you guess suggested.

Later

 

I RUN AT 12-15PSI FOR 12'S, ANY LOWER AND YOU RUN THE RISK OF EITHER FLATSPOTTING THE RIM OR POPPIN' THE TIRE OFF THE BEAD. LOWER AIR PRESSURE MEANS MORE LOW SPEED STABILITY.:cool:

 

Ransom can 12 like a ****...saw him do some sick **** this weekend. You're gonna have those circles in no time.

 

thanx playa,
got HALF circles on lock. One more day of practice should do it.
