When it's in 4 wheel drive it is harder to turn than when in 2 wheel drive. Title: Re: why is my kodiak going straight when i turn Post by: ppark350se on October 26, 2005, 09:38:46 PM yeah thats alotta pressure i only 3psi in my holeshots. Diffrent tire but not to make up for a 33psi diffrence.

Title: Re: why is my kodiak going straight when i turn Post by: jwscroll on October 27, 2005, 05:24:46 AM I've got my front tire pressure way up ther too, 20-25 psi, this keeps the front end up out of the water. I run the rears at 2 or 3 psi to drop the rear to the ground while in the hole. I tried running them at 0 psi like someones Foreman I know of, but the bead was trying to roll off the rim.

As everyone asked, Why do you feel you need 36 psi in your tires. I run 12 and they are stiff... You have to be careful w/ tha much pressure they will puncture easily.

I run the rears at 2 or 3 psi to drop the rear to the ground while in the hole. I tried running them at 0 psi like someones Foreman I know of, but the bead was trying to roll off the rim. lol... That is true, I seated the bead on my outlaws and then pulled the pin. I litterally run 0 lbs of pressure in the outlaws. Title: Re: why is my kodiak going straight when i turn Post by: svtbolt04 on October 28, 2005, 01:01:17 PM Tires are rated to about 50-70lbs... So go ahead and bring them up to 65psi, but I do not recomend Highspeed road driving..
