Tire Pressure

[rose62]

In the past I've been very dissatisfied with the Carlisle slicks. So for this kart I bought the sawtooth tires (4" front, 5" rear). Suggestions for tire pressure? I'm running about 7.5 psi +/- in the front and about 20 in the back, trying to reduce low speed understeer.

20 yikes.
Thats rock hard riding.

Id run like 3-5 in the front. By feel really. Just so they hold shape but you can still push your finger on the tire and it squish.

Rears maybe 5-7. Same idea just a little firmer.

Is that a live axle or a one wheel peel.

A live axle is hard to turn on pavement no matter how you go about it.

Yes, live axle.

Just for giggles, what does the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall say?
