Probably the same pressure as your Razr2's until you get used to the differences.
You might get more hook up in really soft sand with pressures down towards 2.5psi, but you are going to get heaps more new sand traction anyway, and you don't want to rip paddles off.
If you are turning corners, you are heavy, you're quad is heavy and you've got lots of grunt 2.5psi might be too low.
Also take note of what instalation pressure is required to seat the beads on the actual rims you use.
If they pop on to the seat at over 20psi that's great.
If they seat at under 10psi... I would not go too low for running pressures if you are chucking the thing sideways in the dunes.
In this case maybe stay upward of 3.5psi.

my guess Smile

If you haven't got bead locks, i find they slip on the rim, even at 4bl, keep an eye on how the paddles on one wheel line up with other.. or some how mark the tyre and rim and check for slippage. Oh yeah, my paddles are tight, it took around 30bl to pop the beads on and they slipped. so I recomend don't run to low pressure unless you have bead lock. But i will add slippage has been minimal at 4bl.
