Tire pressure question

Postby Dieselrider » Sat Mar 07, 2015 10:33 am

What is the right pressure to set the rear tires at? running 8.3x 24 tires on the cub. It has chains but not much traction. However it is snow and ice covered here now. Someone mentioned in another of my threads that this tire design is not all that good for traction.

Chains have a tendency to work down into the grooves between the lugs on some tread patterns and loose traction. If you are having this problem I have found that leaving the chains just a little loose allows the to keep working around the tires and out of the grooves giving better traction.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
