I run maximum pressure up front to prevent rolling the tires off and minimum pressure in the rear to get maximum traction.

I think we usually run 10 in the front and 8 in the back.

Our dune 150 recomend 14psi but it is harsh so i tried 10 front and rear. But with the newer front maxxis 20/7/8 tirers it says 5 psi max. Last year i ran 8psi in the rear and popped the bead 5 miles from camp in the desert. Luckily we had a bicycle pump and were able to get the tire pumped up. So I run 10in the rear and 8 in the front. Alot nicer ride with less air but Dont want to blow the bead again. Bead lock rims would be nice anybody hear of beadlock rims for chinnese buggys?

Beadlocks come in just about any bolt pattern & rim size,so find out what your bolt pattern is and match it to an ATV beadlock rim. Your rear 10" rims are very common for beadlocks-I haven't ever tried to buy an 8" beadlock rim.
