ATV Tire Pressure Question

[texan4ut]

I have a Honda Rancher 420 ES 4x4. The recommended tire pressure is 3.6 pounds. I just bought new tires and had a tire shop mount them. He said he put 14 pounds of pressure in each tire which was what was on the side wall. Seems like I should stick with 3.6 not 14. What does GS say.

hell no...it will ride like a tank. I run 5# max in all my rides...

I run 5 pounds in my aftermarket tires.

Thanks that is what I thought.

5-6# in aftermarket tires. The factory 2 ply mess that comes on them are in a league of their own

I run 3 to 5 lbs max in aftermarket Mudzillas on my ‘03 Rancher. If you ran 14 lbs it would beat you to death....especially with stock tires.

8 psi max on mine

Lower pressure is for good ride ..and helps avoid flats by folding in when you roll over something hard

Yep...too much air and you would puncture a tire real quick on the rocks on our place.
