Trailhunter max tire size

Finally!
32-34psi.. 35 Max

So is all that stuff about running E-loads at some minimum PSI to stop sidewall flex just BS? I'd LOVE to run them at 32. I bet that would make them a lot more supple to ride on.

DT wanted to run them at 35. Even Falken didn't seem to think there was a minimum, but I was talking to some lady who did not seem like an expert.

Aired down to 35. Did not feel much difference other than less precise steering. I may go back to 38/39. It felt pretty nice. I’m kinda shocked bc I’ve always been anti high PSI. I ran my 22 pro at 27. And the TH at 30 on the nose. Interested what others think about the Falkens in E and best pressure to run.

Also for those with the trail hunter, the NSV compressor is a delight to use

Anyone else experience DT ignoring the yellow dot on the tire (lining it up with the valve stem)? They ignored the dot on my tires. They didn’t even know what it meant. I feel like this is lazy as they rely entirely on the road force balancer, resulting in more weights than needed and possibly an inferior balance. Anyone have any thoughts? I don’t think there’s much vibration but I can’t tell for sure. Should I get them done correctly?

Aired down further and ride is improved.

@StreeTaco - Could you tell me what PSI you run on your E load hi country tires? I dropped down to 33/34 from 38 initially then 35/36, now all of a sudden my tires are way more comfortable..not sure if it’s my imagination but just a few PSI made a massive difference. Wondering how low I can go before it’s problematic for an E load. May keep them at 33/34 or drop down 1 psi to optimize. Have you noted any tire heating or sidewall squish?
