Again, new to wheelers. Checked my tires last night and had next to no pressure. It says not to go over 36psi per wheel on them. I put 20 psi in each one. What should I have them at? It's a '93 yamaha grizzley 400 4x4.

What? 3-6 psi? That's it?

Yes, operating pressure is always under 7 psi. Some go over that and are fine, but stay less than 10 for sure. Mine are normally at 4-5 psi. There should be a sticker on the wheeler saying what psi for front and rear. I would guess it is 5 psi.
It's a Kodiak, right?

The 36 max is when you are seating the bead. It probably read next to nothing because you were using a regular tire pressure guage. You need to use a low pressure guage.

If theres a tool kit with it, it should have a low tire psi gauge in it.

You want low pressure for added traction. I was amazed at this same fact when I bought mine a while back as well. I found out that the higher pressures actually make it dangerous to ride as well.

I would think that anykind of ATV dealer would have them. Possibly a NAPA store as well.
