Tire Pressure for Trail Riding

[plateauman57]

Hey all, curious to see what tire pressure you're using for riding trails. Rode yesterday on a trail which at times was pretty rocky. Before hitting the trails I checked and my tires had 10.5 psi (which is how it came from the dealer). Not wanting to have a blow out like I did on my 825 (on the same trail) I lowered the pressure to 8.5 psi. On my atvs i use to have I ran about 4-5 psi but they were much lighter. Appreciate any input.

I usually keep mine around 10 psi.

Last year I played around with air pressure and saw my top speed change by a couple mph and ground clearance by 1/2" when I dropped from 20 to 10 psi. The ride also got noticeably smoother.
