I have a 450 foreman, factory says;
front and rear 3.6 to 4 psi.

I run it there and it rides as good as a foreman will ride, soft tires help out.

I was running 1psi in my Outlaws so I bumped it up to 3, We'll see how it rides now.

I forgot to mention that I broke the outer bead at 1psi when I was in some thick thick 4 ft deep muck. Thats why I rasied it to 3psi.

I just had new tires and I had the guy at that tire put them at 36 psi !!!. I held it there for about 30 min. then i brought them back down to 3psi so the bead would set.

I run my tires at a high psi. I got 28" Highlifter outlaws and run them somewhere around 10. The suggested psi for my tires is something like 6.

Have you tried reading the side of the tire

On my stock dunlops it doesnt specify. Just not to go above 36 when saeling the bead.

That's fine for sealing, but should be dropped down right after, but more important is these tires are designed to run low psi. I never go below 3 psi and above 6 psi. No problems as of yet.
