How much air do I put in my Mickey Thompson tires?

If you have been running another brand of slick on your racecar, we generally recommend you start with the same air pressure you were running and go up in ½ pound increments until you get the best performance. Most racers will usually end up with ½ to 2 pound more air pressure in a Mickey Thompson tire.

What PSI should my mud tires be?

For example, if a tire normally holds 35 psi, it might work well at 25-30 psi on a gravel road; 20-25 psi on a bumpier trail; 15-20 psi in mud, sand, or rocky terrain; and 10-15 psi for the most technical terrain provided the vehicle has good wheels that provide plenty of purchase for the bead.

Does deflating tires help in mud?

When driving through tough terrain, especially mud, airing down the tires of the vehicle by about 15 psi can help them cut through any tricky terrain safely and efficiently. Wider tires give the vehicle more traction, allowing the tires to be more flexible, making it easier for you to get out of a rough patch.

What is the 4 psi rule?

Care needs to be taken on how you apply the 4psi rule. The 4psi rules states that “if your tyres are inflated correctly then the tyre pressure measured when the tyres are hot (after travel) will be 4psi greater than the pressure measured when they were cold (before travel)”.

Is 80 PSI too high for tires?

The 80 psi is required if the tire is operating at rated load. You most likely have a load range E tire. I have run load range E tires for years on my 4 Runners at 32 psi front and 30 psi rear.

Should I run my truck tires at max PSI?

In most of these cases, 40 psi should be more than enough, and since most modern tire designs will allow up to 44 psi (in some cases more) this is not a problem. If you have a heavily loaded vehicle, up to 44 or even higher is ok if the tire allows it, but this is a little high for most vehicles.

Can a tire explode from too much air?

Think of your tires as big, strong, rubber balloons. If you pump too much air into them, they run the risk of popping. When a tire pops, however, it’s more like a mini explosion that can have grave consequences if you blow a tire while driving, especially at high speeds.
