Picked up my 2018 with 44+ psi in all the tires. Have since lowered to 38 everywhere and it makes a noticeable difference in ride quality.

Better or worse. ?

Much better.

That's for the stock KO2s? Or all 35s? I swapped to the Toyo MTs, not sure if the same pressures apply to different tires...or would the different tires require different pressures?

that is lower than when I was at R/A, but it’s probably a learn as you go effort. I went in April and they did say they were still experimenting but were working (then) with I think 36 F, 34R lowest. I have to confess that I’m more familiar with running street pressures, I think the lowest I’ve run on bikes was 27(?) and that was for track work. cars / street tires at low to mid 30’s but off road, there could be a legit need or use case for lower pressures.

You will have to check with the seat of your pants for that info. Different tire potentially different pressure settings.

almost certainly switching tire brand or type is going to take some trial and error finding the right pressures.

Although they are an all around tire, the stock BFG’s on the Rap are actually a really decent tire for the purpose.

Mine were at 40 on all corners when I picked it up, 40 seems good to me.

Mine were at ~43 when I picked mine up. Did a couple hundred miles like that and then lowered to 38. Much better in my opinion.

Same here, 38 now. Better. Tried 40 but prefer 38.

Mine came off the lot at 50 and was pretty harsh with the bad kick to the right over bumps. Lowered it down to 38 and it's a great improvement, though the kick is still detectable. A bit of load in the back should help and I'm getting deavers so I should be a happy camper.

Pressures could be off still - my pen gauge shows 38 but the truck says 40/41 so I need to get out there with a better gauge to verify.
