Talladega National Forest Ride and Camp - June 9 & 10

Will there be a need to air down or anything? I am guessing we will stop at the trail head, set the rigs, cb radios, and then head out.

 

I kinda doubt you'll need to air down, but may want to for a little comfort depending on what you run at.

I run at 40 so I'll probably drop to like 30

 

Airing down a little will make the ride better as Scotty said. We will have to get on pavement to go from 600-1 to 600-2 I believe, so you wouldn't want to go too low

 

I'm going to go to Anniston Friday to drop off my son at my parents house. I'll just meet you guys in Sylacauga.

 

alright man sounds good, looking forward to meeting you.

 

I am at ~33 front 30 rear so ill stick around there and adjust if needed. .

 

Scotty doesn’t care about his tires enough to run correct pressure

 

40 is correct. got 50k miles on my BFGs at this point.

come at me bro.

 

Chalk tested?

 

nope, but you gonna question 50k miles on tires that aren't even rated for that and I've got more to go?

 

let me correct that. 45k miles. I put them on at roughly 108k and I'm at 153k.

tires probably have a good 10k left. they've been on since before I joined TW.

 

My tires seem like a low pressure but thats what the chalk said. I even retested because i didnt trust it. Those are "warm" pressures also.

 

Mine are 32 ish front and 30 ish rear unloaded per chalk test

 

are yours load range E? I've also got quite a bit more weight than you.

 

Yes, mine are E rated

 

Wouldn’t “correct” pressures be lower for E rated tires?

 

40 has worked for me so that's what I'll stick with lol.

 

they have a higher max pressure so I would assume they have a higher running pressure as well.

 

Stronger sidewall = less flex = less pressure required for an even contact patch

My train of thought
