    I run 8 to 10 lbs. More than that it bounces like crazy.

    Thanks Cubtractor. Sounds like a lot of 10 pounders out there.

    I am running 15 psi on the Aero Classics with tubes. Don't notice any excessive bounce if I do a normal decent landing.

    You guys probably already figured this out, but I meant 21x8.00-6 tires...

    I have a set of tubeless Grove wheels for my Mangy project and I'm planning to run the same tires there. I don't think I'll go less than 10 psi with that setup, either.

    Are these the same tires you are talking about?

    If so I'd be interested to hear actual height and how they perform?

    Sounds like my educated guess of starting at 25psi wasn't too far off. What do you guys think I should run with my 21" Nanco smoothies? 10psi?
