flat tires

[Randy Rhoads]

is it better to have your tires inflated a lot or inflated not much for street riding?

[downhiller_1]

on a mtb I used to run the maximum psi the tyre could take front and rear

but on bmx I run just under because It can hurt when u land sometimes and im still getting used to it

well the bmxers i ride with swear by one thing and one thing only:
"primo comets on 110psi all the time" its funny watching them jump dirt though, but yeh the harder the better

I know this is a double post but how do you delete the other one?

[shmeado]

cos the primo comet has no tread...
therefore when off road u get no traction = funny :p

at least 90psi for street/park on the rear anyways...

Does that mean most bmxers go way over the recommended PSI level?
I run a snafu rimjob on the back and It says to go to 60 PSI.

[poopoohead]

[fleshbone]

psi this,psi that.when im on the street(rarely) with my street tires,ill have them hard like bmx style,i found it to be more comforting when doing tricks.just go by feeling,but i say have em hard :cool:

Street, and to an extent park involves smacking your wheels relatively hard into pointy stuff made of metal and concrete... high PSI, less flats. I would've thought that was pretty obvious.

hmm I may be the odd one out but I usually ride my bmx at about 50-55 psi. Do you guys think this may disadvantage me in some sort of way? Should I try running them higher?

I swear by them. If your trails have no flat turns and you pick your lines right you will be fine.
