Title: Tire Pressure? Post by: Fox17 on July 11, 2007, 08:49:54 AM what is the lowest safe tire pressure you can run in a dirt bike tire? mine was really low and i rode it for a while not knowin it. then when i pumped it up, it didnt handle as good. the front was sliding everywhere. i dont want to keep it too low though. the tires dont say how low i can go though.
