Thanks

pretty sure most are running 65 front and rear in the dry, obviously slightly more in the wet to make sure the tread stays open.

That's where we differ Dickie.

I'm running 5psi front and rear

Need to get the tyres real hot, plus it gives your more grip in gravel traps.

think that might be a little to soft for me!!!!lol

Honestly, I run 30/30 in all conditions. Although if the tyre guage says 29psi - that's good enough for me!!

Don't forget we're tractor racing on standard road rubber

[dickieducati]

30/29 for me. may up it a couple in the wet but doubt i notice the difference anyway.

Thanks guys...will try that out on friday!!!

You don't want to run it too low on wet tyre as the thread blocks can close up at the contact patch and diminish some of their ability to dispere water. I run 36/36 on my wets, but ask one of the race tyre dudes. Also, Michelin technical support is excellent for such questions.

Ian is running Pirelli Diablo's Felix
