As title bear in mind I got 14 lanes to do but tarmac inbetween. what pressure would be best for grip don't fancy defeating and inflating every lane thanks in advance for ur replys :thumbs
depends how hardcore the lanes is, I usually just lane in the pressure I use on the roads.

I agree with Fez, the standard recommended pressures on standard tyres are low enough. If you go to low you have increased potential for sidewall damage, a lesson I have learnt the hard way several times :doh
I agree with Plank agreeing with Fez, saves messing about.
Dry Sand could be the exception though, which might benefit from lower pressures.

me too, after all lanes are legal roads still, typically not that demanding
indeed if needed much more toys, or less air would question if was
following tread lightly guidelines.
as said if get stuck or almost on a beach air those puppies right down
have heard as low as 9psi but clearly going to need plenty of air as
soon as get to hard stuff.

Some of the lanes r not by ways they r open to all traffic they r the lanes with the green dots for 1:25th scale or red dots for 1:50th scale maps been told by the local row officer u r allowed on them I all so have a very nice big t-maxx. compressor like make it fit will blow tire from 10psi to 29psi in 3 to 4mins:thumbs:sly

also depends on what tyres/size you use?

correct, I was basing my comments on standard tyres, I believe pressure is less as tyres get bigger.
I use 27 all round in mine :thumb2
My 31x1050R15 are at 35 psi all round on & off road.
So as 1st 2 replys :clap leave at what you drive at on road :thumbs

hi surely byways are open to all traffic
used to be called boats now typically
just byways, mind avoid restricted
byways as these are the old rupps
roads used as public footpaths and
bridleways since reclassifiction by some
county right of way departments.
in derbyshire we gained ORPA, the dotted
lanes other route public access, though
need checkling as my not have vehicular
rights. these lanes are typically farm
access tracks so can be a grey area
unlike pure byway/boats.
still would question need to de air
to that degree, unless already stuck.
just take time, read route, get out and
inspect if in doubt and really should be
in a group.
