Yes, do tell more about the arrow..

 

It's an internet meme, not really sure how it applied here though...

That link got real nerdy real fast. I'd rather be cat breading.

Anyway, just picked up the cheap tires. One of them was his spare so it's like new. Score.

 

Haha, yea that site is terrible, but it's the first one google brought up, and I'd rather not go through the trouble of explaining it...

 

The stock goodyears are junk.. I started having flats around 13k.. And the 1 a month for the 30 k that they lasted before they were worn out

 

Arrow to the knee man!

just an lolz phrase some younger people say when making light of misfortune.

pop culture BS

 

Bear with us old folk. We didn't even have the Internet when I was a kid.

 

I had TWO blow outs on the trail today. F MY LIFE!

 

There's alot to be said for airing down. Even with an arrow in the knee.

Basic principals for airing down include the balloon theory.
If you've ever tried to pop a balloon you'll get this:

-a balloon at full pressure has a tight skin and can be easily pierced by just about anything.

-but if you blow a balloon up to about half pressure it will be able to be poked rubbed and pressed for a fair amount of time and will mould around things instead of bursting.

This is the same for tyres as they are a big balloon arround a rim.

With the tyres down to 15 to 25 psi you will also notice better ride quality on those rough tracks.

Keep mind that the lower you take your tyre pressures the more chance you have of peeling your tyres off the rim.

That being said I've had mine as low as 12psi and haven't rolled a tyre off the rim yet.

The professionals from 4x4 action magazine have also atributed high tyre pressure to roll overs on the tuffer tracks.

So think about airing down next time you hit the trails. It might just save you a bit more than just tyre damage.

Cheers.
