Hi Guys

What tyre presures would you recommend for a 250 quad.

The book suggests about 3.0 psi . When I asked the dealer he suggested around 9.0 to 10.0 psi.

I think that too hard.

Kind Regards

Sidejacking the thread, Where do you take your trike tyres for fitting or repairs..

if they are good, and dont rip the sides out of your tyres/ wallet, how about naming them?

I ride on forest tracks mainly and I'm finding the ride very good but the handling could be better.
