sand:10-12 , dirt/ gravel:20-25 (if you really feel like airing down), road/freeway:30-35 (if you want the smoothest ride),40 (if you want the best mpg) ,I tried 41 for a week or so, screw the mpg!

dude, there is a lot of air coming out from the tire, we are talking about from 40 psi, and air down to 15 to 20.....would that hold a 5000 lb machine ??

The tire guys put 45 psi in my new tires and the mpg did increase, barely, but the ass ache wasn't worth it. Dropped to 36 and its perfect. Haven't done any trails that required 18psi, YET! But @ 36, the last trail I did do I should have dropped to 25, but no slippage, just a little rough and had to go a little slower to make sure I didn't blow one out.
