Question Correct tire pressures for 15" BFG

I've searched for the "right" answer to this question and have seen several different recommended pressures. I am looking for what works well for you on your Backdraft for street driving with those "wonderful" 15" BFG Radial T/As.

I don't need input on 17" tires, ERAs, FFRs, racing pressures, etc.

Thanks,

SkipB

I run mine around 26 lbs. Much better ride and handling. Otherwise you feel every bump on the road.

Guys,

Thanks for the rapid replies. I assume you mean 26lbs both front and rear. I have seen a bunch of guys swear that the fronts must be higher. But, if 23-26 works all around, then fine. I will try it. But Rick, do you mean 23 front and 26 rear?
