Posted September 20, 20204 yr I want to run one pressure for both on and off road. I currently run 26 psi front and rear. I care more about handling on dirt, gravel, sand. I weigh 250 lbs (114 kg) with riding gear on.
September 20, 20204 yr At that weight and 26psi pressure for on-road conditions will reduce the tyre life quite dramatically. I am 85-90kg with riding gear on and I run 32/36 for on road and 26/26 for off road. I suggest you to carry a small electric pump and adjust your pressure depending on type of terrain you are riding.

September 21, 20204 yr 32/26 most of the time...I just rode The Rocky Mountains for a week in all type of off-road terrain and never aired down at all. I should have, but did not. No traction or handling issues at all...okay, maybe except for the deep sand in one area. I SHOULD HAVE aired down for that.
September 21, 20204 yr I run 18 front 20 rear. I ride mostly dirt. Makes a huge difference on off-road especially loose soil. The bike doesn’t track well much above that imo. Tracks great now.
September 21, 20204 yr 32/36 Onroad. 30/34 off-road. I need to get a pump to run lower pressure Off-road and be able to pump before hitting the pavement.
September 21, 20204 yr I registered to give answer here. Dont have a motor, but once got hold of the official formula to calculate pressure for radial car tyres, and went running with it. For motor-tyres this gives to high answer, but better then estimation. Pressure advice is all to prefent anynpart of tire to overheat, when driving the speed for wich it is calculated. I need next to calculate it for you. Weight on seperate wheels, best is weighing, nice project for a meeting. And max speed you use, and wont go over for even a minute. So be hounust , you cant fool mother nature. From tires , maximum load or loadindex, and speedcode Reference-pressure, on motortires often behind AT . And that is different front and . back. For in mud/sand I can also do an estimation, based on radial car-tyres. Greatings from a " pigheaded Dutch selfdeclared tyrepressure-specialist.
