depends on road and tire, if u hear a clunk or a thud when u hit the hole its already to late . i rock around 30 on realy bad road that we have out here, its got cracks every 6feet that are like 4 inches wide and no problems....my friend runs 25 fine on the same roads. id go lower....but knowin my luck the day i did that is the day id bend a rim

i've never bent a rim on the street and we haev some dirty backwoods bullshit here.
