TKC tyre pressure question

[Gecko]

What normal tyre pressures with TKC's fitted

a) on road
b) off road

I guess most off roaders will deflate some for off-roading but how much do you lose before handling suffers too much ?

 

[Spout]

I don't let any air out for off road.
I figure a loss of grip is better than a damaged wheel rim.
Front and back around 30psi (give or take).

28psi front 34psi rear, I never deflate them, it makes no discernable difference

that's fully loaded pressures or one judge sized person. When I had TKC's fitted to the other one I was advised to drop them a couple of lb's from my ususal 36/42 set-up for Tourance
