Well, got around to changing a worn main wheel with 6.00x6 tyre... Now the question is.. What is the going tire pressure?

I'm guessing around 25psi with the Skybolt (mine's a bit heavy, though), although the manufacturer lists 49psi as a max.

What are most of you using on your skybolts if you have 6.00x6 tires? Just curious if there is a "sweet spot" consensus... I tried to search the forums but didn't see much for the Skybolt.

Thanks!
