What tire pressure for 20's ??

Hey guys, I know someone will probably tell me I should've addressed this in the wheel/tire forum, but since these are the Harley 20s what better guys to ask. I just got the 02 Harley wheels/tires for my 4x4 Screw and wanted to know what tire pressure I should be using ? I did 35psi in my stock 17s. Thanks for the help

I run 40, that's what is recommended. Please post pics, I have got to see what 20's and low profile tires look like on a 4x4. I just can't quite picture it in my head.

same here

but anyway, if i remember right, the tire says like 42 max? adn teh door's on the HD's say 35? Well i used to run 40-42 but then one member who never rotated his tires (so he noticed the uneven tread wear earlier) said that it wore the tread in teh center faster than on the outside with 40-42 cuz thats what he ran also. I checked mine out, and i have 25K miles on the tread, and should get another 15K out of them, but i can see that the center is worn a hair more than the outside, which means too much pressure, so i'm running 38psi now, and thats what most guys around here run. somewhere around there. felt no difference in ride or handling though with the different pressures.

Thanks for the input guys. I tried a couple different psi's and 38psi seems to work the best as far as the 'feel' when I'm driving. Oh, I will post pics of the Harley 20s on my 4x4 as soon as I can. I just took some pics and waiting to get back. It actually looks very good even with the low profile tires
