KM 2 Street pressure???

Got my BFG mud terrain KM2s on, but even the tire place wasn't exactly sure what pressure to set them at for the street. What is everyon else running?

Re: KM 2 Street pressure???

I run mine at 32-35 psi for street. Had a lot of fun this winter with my KM 2's. Got them down to 19 psi for that...

James, I run 35 psi in mine on the street. We just got back from a weekend trip to Savannah/Brunswick, GA and they did great, there wasn't a lot of highway noise.

Re: KM 2 Street pressure???

James, Mike called BFG and they told him that there is no "set" pressure as it has to do a lot with vehicle weight. They instructed him to do the chalk test. You chalk the tread across the width of the tire in a 2"-4" wide band then take it ffor a drive.

The goal is for the chalk to wear off even. Wears only in the center, too much pressure, on the edges too little pressure.

That is a great idea, like sidewalk chalk, or ordinary classroom chalk?
